TAR College Sabah Branch Campus |
reached a significant milestone recently when it moved to its new location in Donggongon, Penampang. The move was prompted by the almost 10-fold increase in student population at the Branch Campus since its establishment in 2002.
This new premises is nearly six times bigger than the previous premises at Kian Kok Middle School in Kota Kinabalu. It can better cater to the teaching and learning needs of students and staff with 19 lecture rooms, a library, a multi-purpose hall, student activities room, computer laboratories, Internet laboratories and multimedia language laboratories. With better facilities, the Sabah Branch Campus can look forward to offer a more diversified selection of courses to students in East Malaysia.
The College would like to record
its appreciation towards Kian Kok |
|
Middle School Board of Directors for their cooperation and assistance in granting the use of its premises.
