This article is brought to you in part by the Alice Smith School.

2016 is a very significant year for the Alice Smith School. The school is celebrating 70 years of rich British educational heritage with a range of events and activities throughout the year. Over seven decades, many wonderful changes and exciting developments have occurred at the school.

To kick-start the celebrations, Alice Smith hosted an inaugural 70th Anniversary Alumni Get-together in London, attended by alumni spanning its decades of history. The Alice Smith School’s Alumni Association is outstanding and has an extensive network of alumni around the world.

The line-up of exciting events in the coming months will culminate in a glittering and glitzy Platinum Gala Ball taking place on Friday, 11th November at the Majestic Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. The school will also be celebrating the actual anniversary day at both school campuses on Tuesday, 1st November.

We would like to thank the following Supporting Partners who will jointly organise the events with us; the British High Commission, British Malaysian Chamber of Commerce (BMCC), Association of British Women in Malaysia (ABWM), Malaysian, Australian and New Zealand Association (MANZA), Selangor St. Andrew’s Society and the St. Patrick’s Society of Selangor.

Through historical records, the school was able to determine that Mrs Alice Smith, the founder, commenced her first class in her living room in Jalan Eaton on 1st November in 1946. From this humble beginning, 2016 marks a terrific milestone for the Alice Smith School!
