古晋中学简介 Introduction

Kuching High School was established in 1962 by Kuching Teochew Association. It was formerly known as Min Teck Middle School and was once the venue for Chung Hua Middle School and Chung Hua Middle School No.2 as well. The first intake of students on 15th January 1963 had a total enrolment of 830 students for 25 classes in both the Chinese and English streams. The initial set up consisted of 7 wooden blocks built on a 3 acres land.

In line with the national education policy, the teaching methodology in Kuching High School has been constantly reviewed to meet the changing needs. We have been pursuing our noble mission in instilling Chinese culture to our younger generations through various means such as offering Chinese as one of the preferred subjects. With the concerted effort of all, it is now a renowned school and was awarded “Sekolah Harapan Negara – Peringkat Negeri Sarawak” in year 2002.

The school currently has a student population of over 1700 students which includes students from all races.

Ex-Highians are generally competent in three languages which gives them the competitive advantage in the pursuit of their future undertakings. Besides, many trained teachers for Chinese primary schools are graduates of Kuching High School, making it a major source of recruits for teachers.

Over the past 45 years, Kuching High has nurtured thousands of students who are now either staying abroad or in their homeland. These Ex-highians have excelled in their professions and have contributed greatly to the society.


古晋中学是于1962年，由古晋潮州公会所创设，前身为潮属民德中学，也曾借予中华中学、中华第二中学当校址。1963年1月15日，第1届学生正式上课，当时报名踊跃，入学人数达830人，全校开设25班。学生可自由选择就读中文或英文部。

古晋中学占地三依甲，创校时有7座木板建成校舍：民德楼、四维楼、乐群堂、敬业楼、亲民楼、至善楼以及立诚楼。除了乐群堂以外，其他皆为二层课室，此外学校还拥有一间音乐室“知止轩”，二个篮球场一个羽毛球场和储藏室。

将近半世纪来，在国家教育政策的变革中，古晋中学的办学方式也不断调整，以应时代所需。尽管如此，校董们依然本着公会办学的初衷，鼓励学生们选修华文科目，以达文化传承的使命。在历任校长及师生的群策群力下，古晋中学已发展成为著名与成功的中学，是砂拉越州之模范学校。

晋中办学的卓越成就，不仅仅是华裔的骄傲，也得友族同胞的认同，纷纷将子女送入就读。目前，校内学生人数为1762名。由于晋中学生精通国、中、英三种语文，离校生不论在国内或海外升学，或就业社会，都有标青的成绩和良好的表现。

值得一提的是古晋中学，已成为砂拉越各津贴华文小学的重要师资来源，因为在政府文凭考试，其中的华文资格受到当局承认，入得师训学院大门，受训为华文教师，这是各界人士所公认的事实。

四十五年来，晋中已培育上万名学生，散居在国内外， 在各领域做出贡献，体现了“今日我以晋中为荣,明日晋中以我为傲”的理念。
