When it came to choosing a secondary school, Juying Secondary was a natural choice for me. It’s more than just a school — it’s part of my family’s history. My mother was once a student here and she still remembers her time fondly, especially the lessons taught by Mr Sies, who was her teacher back then. To walk the same corridors she once did feels meaningful — like I’m continuing a legacy.

Being in Juying has helped me grow in many ways. I was given the opportunity to be the Class Chairperson — a role I’m truly honoured to take on. Selected by both my form teachers and classmates, I’ve learnt what it really means to be responsible, empathetic and kind. I listen to my classmates, check on their well-being and help out however I can. If there’s something I can’t manage, I make sure to inform the teacher. I also help share important information with my class and take care of the class exco. It’s not always easy, but the support I get from my teachers makes all the difference.

My favourite teachers are my form teachers. Ms Wahidah always checks in on me and my classmates — you can really feel she cares. Ms Azyan is both funny and firm, and that balance makes her such a great teacher and mentor. Both of them believed in me even before I believed in myself, and they’ve helped me grow into a confident leader. They’ve encouraged me to be one of the outstanding Class Chairpersons in our cohort, and that means a lot to me.

And then there’s Mdm Rosnah my Science teacher — she may seem scary at first, but once you get to know her, you’ll see how funny and genuine she is. Even when she’s firm with us, she has a way of making us laugh. She has a special bond with many students and I’m glad to be one of them.

At Juying, you’ll not only find caring teachers, but you’ll also find a place that helps you discover your strengths. It’s more than just a school — it’s a community. I’ve found my voice, made new friends and learnt what it means to lead with heart. If you're looking for a place to grow, lead and be supported every step of the way, then Juying Secondary is the school for you.
