Established in 1922, the mission school, located in the state capital of George Town, is set to embark upon a wholly new chapter.
With 56 mission schools – notably recognised by the word “Convent” in their names – under its wings, IJS started its education journey in Malaysia in 1852 by establishing Convent Light Street , also in Penang. CLS is set to reopen as a private international school run by two members of the school’s distinguished alumnae, while plans for CPT are still under wraps –although IJS has stated that the new direction of both schools will be decidedly different.
According to figures in the yearbooks, in 1970, CPT recorded a Form One enrolment of 223 students, which dropped to a mere 155 girls just a decade later in 1980. “The most pressing concern is the dilapidated buildings across our 56 schools. The schools are very old – some over 100 years old – and over time, there will be wear and tear from the thousands of students who used the buildings,” Lady Superior of the Society of Saint Maur Sister Mary Theresa Chua, who heads IJS’ mission in Malaysia, told StarEdu in an interview.
