Assunta Secondary School was established in 1957, a year when Malaya was still in the<br />

midst of turmoil following the communists' struggle for political power. Racial tensions<br />

were still high <strong>and</strong> curfews had been imposed. Most girls then did not go to school; this<br />

prompted the British as well as the local leaders to establish an all-girls' school to help<br />

promote education <strong>and</strong> improve relationships between the races. This school was Assunta.<br />

Today, Assunta is leaded by Madam Hong Yin Wah, with 94 academic staffs, 12<br />

support staffs, <strong>and</strong> a total of 1839 students for both morning <strong>and</strong> afternoon session. The<br />

school is well-equipped with facilities such as computer labs, science labs, audio-video<br />

room, art <strong>and</strong> craft room, home science room <strong>and</strong> others facilities which aimed to provide<br />

students the best learning environments.<br />
