Sekolah Menengah Sungai Ara

Sekolah Menengah Sungai Ara (7 May 2009)


Sekolah Menengah Sungai Ara (GPS: 5.31917, 100.27088) is a secondary school in Sungai Ara, Bayan Lepas. Also known as Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sungai Ara or SMK Sungai Ara, it was founded in 1962, and was originally called Sekolah Menengah Lanjutan. As the first secondary school in the area, it initially occupied classrooms of Sekolah Rendah Bayan Lepas.

In 1965, Sekolah Menengah Lanjutan changed its name to Sekolah Menengah Bayan Lepas. It relocated out of Sekolah Rendah Bayan Lepas, and moved into the grounds of Chong Cheng Primary School, where it remained until its own building was completed in 1971, and was officiated by then prime minister, the late Tun Hussein Onn.

Sekolah Menengah Sungai Ara began classes with two school buildings, Blocks A and B, with Block C added in 1973. Block C houses workshops for Industrial Arts classes, while yet another block, Block D, completed in 1974, houses the science labs. Over the years, more buildings have been added to the school complex, including a multipurpose hall, Dewan SMKSA, new science labs and a surau.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
