King Edward VII School (Malay: Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan King Edward VII; abbreviated KE7) is a premier secondary school for boys[citation needed] (and girls, in Sixth Form) located on Jalan Muzium Hulu, in Taiping, Malaysia.
In 1899, according to the report of Mr. Greene, the first headmaster, physical drill with music was introduced, and the lads were gradually being initiated into the mysteries of football and cricket.
Still living today is a handful of the old brigade, seasoned in years, but ever young with fresh memories of the arduous past.
A large shed, made of jungle rollers and cheap timber, was built to add capacity to the crowded school.
The site finally selected was the land on which the railway station, probably the first of its kind in Malaya, had stood.
In 1951, in addition to the existing science laboratories, room for geography, history and arts classes were made available for the students.
[6] In 1978, the school team was selected by Malaysia as a representative to the ASEAN Inter-school rugby tournament in Hatyai, Thailand, gaining third place.
During the Royal Selangor Cup match, the Tigers took fourth place at the national level (1987 and 1998).
In 2000, the Tigers were MSSPK champions, finished second in the Perdana Silver Zone competition, and were in the semi-finals in the National Premier Cup.
[7][8] In June 2014, the school was chosen as a key partner by the Northern Corridor Implementation Authority to teach industrial skills to students.
The implementation was introduced by the NCIA chief executive officer, Datuk Redza Rafiq Abdul Razak, during the 47th Old Edwardian annual dinner.
