SMKA Tun Hajah Rahah or Tun Hajah Rahah Religious National Secondary School (Arabic: المدرسة الثانوية الوطنية الدينية تون حجة راحة; Malay: Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Tun Hajah Rahah;) is a Malaysia educational institution established in 1982. The institution is located at town Simpang Lima, Sungai Besar in the District of Sabak Bernam, Selangor, Malaysia.

History

Foundation

In 1979, the Ministry of Education under the Division of Technical and Vocational and the Selangor State Education Department were planning to build a vocational school for agriculture in Selangor. The development was financed by a special facilities loan for education development from the World Bank. An area of 19.75acres at an agricultural village in Simpang Lima was chosen as the site for construction. The site selection was based on the factors that the land was an undeveloped state-owned land.[1]

SMK Simpang Lima

The school was named Simpang Lima after a penta-junction at Jalan Kuala Selangor Lama near Sungai Nibong village. The construction completed in 1982 and the school was finally opened for admission in January 1982. However, due to political and public pressure, it was established as SMK Simpang Lima, a public secondary school and not as a vocational school as per planned.

SMKA Simpang Lima

After six years of service, there was a move by the school's Parent-Teacher Association with recommendation from the District Education Office of Sabak Bernam, to elevate the school status into a religious boarding school.

This proposal was accepted by the Ministry of Education and the Selangor Education Department. In 1988, the school's name was officially changed from SMK Simpang Lima to SMKA Simpang Lima.

SMKA Sabak Bernam

In 2015, the school was rebranded as SMKA Sabak Bernam to represent the whole district of Sabak Bernam.

SMKA Tun Rahah

In 2016, the school was rebranded as SMKA Tun Rahah

Development

At its opening, the school was made up of 1 double-storey block for administration, 3 double-storey blocks for classrooms, 1 single-storey block for laboratories and workshop, 8 medium quarters for teachers and school staff, and a canteen. When the school gradually evolved into a boarding school, one of the classroom blocks was converted into a hostel.

In 1992, the school received 4 new three-storey hostel block and a dining hall. In the same year, with the effort from the PTA and the local communities, a new surau was built.

In 1998, under the Sixth Malaysia Plan (RMK6), the Ministry of Education approved another construction of one three-storey classroom block and two three-storey hostel blocks, a new dining hall for female students, a water tank and two new playing court.

In 2002, the school received a new Multipurpose Hall and a new shuttle bus.

In 2004, the new one storey Computer Laboratories block completed.

In 2008, the school received a Class C Quarters for Headmaster residence and a new block next to the Multipurpose Hall.

Symbols

Emblem

The school's emblem was introduced and has been used since the school's establishment in 1983. The design of the emblem did not undergo any major or significant change during the upgrading of SMK Simpang Lima into SMKA Simpang Lima and pursuant to the rebranding of SMKA Simpang Lima as SMKA Sabak Bernam. The school's management might have decided to incorporate the original emblem together with the motto "Disiplin Teras Kejayaan" into the identity of the new School. The only modification made are the color of the torch at the center of the emblem was changed from blue to green colour and the former school's name was replaced with the new one.
