History

Awang Semaun Secondary School was established in March 1982 by the name 'Sungai Kebun English Secondary School'. It was first located at the present Paduka Seri Begawan Sultan Science College before it moved to its current location on 3 February 1983. On 13 December 1984 marked its official opening by the then Minister of Education, Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Laila Wijaya Dato Seri Setia Haji Awang Abdul Aziz. The occasion was marked by the renaming of the school as Sekolah Menengah Awang Semaun (Awang Semaun Secondary School), a tribute to a Brunei legendary hero.



Academic


The school follows the national Secondary Schools' curriculum of the SPN-21 (Sistem Pendidikan Abad ke-21) starting 2007. Under this system, students study a two-year common curriculum in Year 7 and Year 8 and are then channelled to five streams namely Express (two years programme), General Science (three years), General Programme (3 years), General Applied (3 years) and Special Applied (Edexcel) Programme. Channelling is determined by the results of the Students' Progress Examination at the end of Year 8.


At the end of Year 11 (Year 10 for the Express stream), students sit for GCE 'O' Level and/or IGCSE examination. Passing the examination may allow students to proceed to sixth form. Alternatively, students may also opt for public vocational education at IBTE schools.
