Dear Parents,
As Martin Luther Ling said, “All labour that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance.” As
we mark Labour Day, we take this opportunity to pause, reflect, and express our deepest
gratitude to the dedicated individuals who keep our school running smoothly each and
every day. Running any school is logistically complex, with many facets involved in
ensuring our teachers and students can conduct the core business of learning and teaching
each day. Behind the scenes, our operations team, security staff, and administration staff
work tirelessly to ensure our campus is safe, welcoming, and efficient for every child, every
family, and every member of our community. Our operations team, led by Mr Raja ensure
that classrooms are ready, facilities are maintained, and that the environment is clean and
conducive to learning. The team must be responsive to every situation and in a school as
big as Sri KDU, these situations are extremely varied, especially in the humid, wet conditions
in Subang Jaya. Their efforts often begin before the school day starts and continue long
after the final bell. Weekend updates from the operations team to the school leaders are
well-received, as we know we can confidently enter school on Monday morning and be
ready for our students to learn. Our security staff are the ‘guardians of our gates’. With
professionalism and kindness, they keep our community safe, model respectful interactions,
and serve as familiar, reassuring faces for all who arrive each morning. Whatever the time
of the day, early morning, or late afternoon, I am always impressed by their friendly
greetings and their total commitment to their role in keeping the Sri KDU community safe.
Our administration teams, led by Miss Arvindar and Miss Nina, keeps the heart of the
school beating steadily. From managing enrolment and timetables to coordinating events
and supporting families, their commitment to organisation and service ensures that
learning can thrive. As those of you have visited our school reception will know, our
frontline staff have many queries and requests every day and we hope, like me, you find
them always helpful, proactive and supportive in all their interactions. They also work long
hours, including evenings and weekends, dedicated to giving our families everything they
need to support their children’s futures.
These teams are central to our commitment to Welfare and Safeguarding—one of our
school's core promises. Through their vigilance, care, and consistency, they help create the
secure and nurturing environment that every child needs to learn and grow.
This Labour Day, we say thank you—for the dedication, dignity, and quiet leadership you
bring to our school community.
Your work matters. Your presence matters. And you are deeply appreciated.
Have a lovely weekend,
David Wilcock,
Vice Principal and Head of Primary,
On behalf of the Senior Leadership Team.
We visited numerous international schools in Klang-Valley and Sri KDU Subang Jaya was not even on our list. Reason being it is way out of our travelling radius. However, we are glad we made the visit to the school before our final call, and it was the best decision ever! It was a huge transition period for us during the first 2 weeks into school, but the school’s team (Teachers, Administrative and Parent’s Teacher Association) made us feel right at home. We were given clear guidance and was kept well informed on the happenings in the school. My daughter blended into the community quite well with the care provided by the Homeroom teacher. All the teachers here are the kindest, as she told me. She looks forward to going to school and has become more disciplined in terms on knowing what tasks she needs to complete daily. She has gained so much confidence during this short period of time and was given the encouragement to explore and develop her abilities here. She was just selected as the new Primary House Captain for Year 6 AY2022/2023.
Every parent want to find the ‘perfect’ school for their child and are afraid of making the wrong decision. For us, as long she is safe and happy, we believe, she will eventually find the way to her own success.
