School History

HAPPY 27th BIRTHDAY SMK TAMAN DESA !

27 years ago !

SMK Taman Desa was established on the 5th of January 1981. However, as the new school building was still under construction, it had to be housed temporarily at the Overseas Union Garden Primary School for 5 months and 9 days. On the 15th of June 1981, SMKTD commenced within its own buildings at Taman Desa.

In 1981, the students’ population was about 348 with 9 classes . When the school moved to its own premises there were 412 students with 7 Remove and 3 Form One classes. The school was helmed by the first Principal Drs. Hanapiah Sudin and Senior Assistant, Mr. George F. Menezes .

Today, the school has grown by leaps and bounds with about 1,333 students (from Remove to Form Six) and 80 teachers under the leadership of the 9th Principal Mr. Gan Peng Kheang, Senior Assistant Ms Tee Lee Hwa, Senior Assistant of Student Affairs Mdm Chin Yoke Mei, Senior Assistant of Co-Curricular Activities, Mdm Ng Siew Tuan and Senior Assistant for the afternoon session, Mdm Lau Bee Yong.

The New Table Tennis Room

The newly set up table tennis room is a project by Taman Desa Residents’ Association (TDRA) and it has kindly advanced the building cost. TDRA certainly looks forward to SP Setia Bhd’s philanthropic support to cover the building cost, at the upcoming TDRA’s annual Ping Pong Tournament.

This new facility now offers SMKTD’s students a more conducive environment for training Hopefully, with more and better training, they can have a more competitive edge over other schools as well as a better opportunity to emerge as champions in future inter-school table tennis competitions. We are grateful to TDRA and PIBG for their support. Once again thank you TDRA and PIBG for your dedication and commitment to SMKTD.

The New Auditorium

The auditorium is a new school facility initiated by the Principal, Mr Gan Peng Kheang. After securing the initial grant from the PM’s Department, the construction work started in late October 2007 and completed in February . Fixtures and air-conditioning units were funded by generous donors and parents. The multi-purpose auditorium can accommodate about 100 people.
