MBSSKL has long been acknowledged as having a edge in the implementation of ICT compared to many schools. This advancement is mainly self made, as we are not entitled to many privileges of other government schools like the computer laboratory, the self-access centre and the entitlement of the ICT coordinator. Yet with the strong support of the alumni, PTA, and the Board of Governors, we are able to rise to the status of a Smart School with careful planning and implementation. Today, MBSSKL is officially recognised as a Smart School with a 5 star rating – the highest under the Smart School Qualification Standard (SSQS) set by the Ministry of Education and MDeC. Only very few schools can achieve this ranking and almost all of them are the government sponsored Smart Schools. But we have to continuously maintain our standards as we will be monitored and assessed by the MOE on a yearly basis.
