Sekolah Kebangsaan Wellesley

Wellesley Primary School (2 July 2014)


Sekolah Kebangsaan Wellesley (GPS: 5.42328, 100.32729), formerly known as Wellesley Primary School, is a primary school in George Town, Penang. It is located on Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah (Northam Road) at the junction with Larut Road. The school was built around 1936.¹. The school was also named after Richard Colley Wesley, The Marquess Wellesley, who was the Governor-General of India during the time when Province Wellesley was ceded to the British East India Company. (Note that his actual surname is Wesley, his father being Garret Wesley, 1st Earl of Mornington, but on the year of his birth, 1760, his father was made Viscount Wellesley, hence he inherited the surname Wellesley.)²

Wellesley Primary School is one of the main feeder schools for Penang Free School, together with Francis Light School. Among the prominent people who have gone to school there include Malaysian lawyer Tanasekharan Autherapady, the late Dr Syed Mahmood bin Syed Hussain Jamalullail (1921-2011) who led the first Malaysian medical delegation to China.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
