History

[edit]

Sekolah Seri Puteri was founded on 6 May 1968, and the original name was Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Perempuan Jalan Kolam Ayer (Female Secondary School of Jalan Kolam Ayer), Kuala Lumpur.[7] It was established to provide secondary education for students from across Malaysia.[8] Built on a 19-acre site at Jalan Kolam Ayer previously owned by a technical school,[9] the school opened with 144 Form 4 students, 10 teachers, and three non-academics who assisted Puan Khalidah Adibah Amin, the first principal.

In 1969, the school started contracting teachers from Bangladesh to fill vacancies in the science and mathematics departments.[10] The first group of 102 Form 6 students was admitted in May 1971. Form 1 students were first admitted in 1975.

In 1975, pre-university matriculation courses from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia were first attended by 88 students.[11] In 1976, the wind orchestra, Seri Puteri Winds, was formed by the third principal Puan Hajah Badiah Bt Hj, Abdul Manan, and the vice-principal Wilma Lesurf[citation needed].

The school celebrated its tenth anniversary on 16 September 1978 [citation needed]. At this event, the fourth school principal, Puan Zainab Bt Haji Mohd Yusop, officially named the school as Sekolah Seri Puteri, signifying "beauty, dignity, and leadership" [citation needed]. The school emblem was also introduced in the same year[citation needed].
