Cassie was the Head of Secondary at Sri KDU Subang Jaya before becoming Principal, and she has proven to be a committed leader who aims to provide the best opportunity for students under her supervision. She believes in the one per cent rule (aggregation of marginal gains) and encourages students as well as educators to adopt this perspective.
Cassie is a visionary that strives to improve all curriculum areas at the Sri KDU Subang Jaya campus. She works relentlessly to ensure that students have more than just academic opportunities; students need to have the chance to grow as individuals as well as achieve vital, outstanding academic accomplishments. Her focus on developing future leaders through avenues such as life skills development and providing more opportunities is at the core of her philosophy, ensuring students leave school with more than just results but the ability to thrive in life.
Cassie is also an avid sports enthusiast who has competed at the national level in swimming and netball. She also excels at table tennis, badminton, and tennis.
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.
