History edit
Tunku Kurshiah College was established as Malay Girls College in 1947.[citation needed] It was initially located at a piece of land located at the 2 1/2 Mile of Jalan Damansara, Kuala Lumpur. It was officially opened by Lady Gent, the wife of Sir Edward Gent, the Governor of Malayan Union. The place is now known as Bukit Damansara.
In April 1962, the college moved to a 25 acres (100,000 m2) site at Bukit Merbah, Jalan Tunku Kurshiah, Seremban. The college changed its name to Tunku Kurshiah College, in honour of the first Raja Permaisuri Agong. It was formalised when the college was declared open by Almarhum Tuanku Munawir ibni Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman, the then Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan on 24 May 1963.
In 2000, TKC was chosen as one of the schools to participate in the Malaysia Smart Schools flagship application of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC).[6] The school is the first batch of Cluster Schools which granted itself autonomy to select its own students in 2007.[7] The school niche area is student leadership, English proficiency, and research and development (R & D).[8] Three years later, in 2010, the school again was selected to be among the first High Performing Schools (Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi).[9]
In 2011, the school band was featured in a flashmob style, reality programme, Refleksi Orkestra in conjunction with Orkestra RTM 50 Golden Jubilee.[10]
The school moved to its new premise in Bandar Enstek, Nilai in January 2013.[11] TKC new campus has two main blocks, namely academic lower secondary and upper secondary, an administrator block which consists of an office, teachers' chambers, libraries, laboratories, and a main hall which can accommodate 1,000 people. The main academic block can accommodate as many as 650 Ministry's stream students and 100 International Baccalaureate students. The university-style campus also has dormitory blocks, a surau, warden's residence, cafeteria, convenient sports fields and arenas, as well as WiFi.[12] The campus has an area as large as 17.4 hectares, built with cost approximately RM 75 million.[13] The process of moving to new premises was documented by TV3 (Malaysia) documentary programme Majalah Tiga.[14]
TKC basketball team is known as TKC KUDOS and TKC hockey team is known as TKC Vitesse. In addition, TKC touch rugby team is known TKC La Reine while TKC Wind Orchestra is popularly known as TKWO.
