History edit
Construction of the campus was immediately put to a halt in 2014, after two separate accidents took place at the same construction site of the same project.[4] The first accident claimed the life an Indonesian worker,[5] while the second accident injured 9 other workers.[6][7] On 31 October 2017, the school began applying fireproof materials to the building.[8]
Prior to the opening of the school on 16 November 2020 students carried out higher educations in the Sayyidina Ali Secondary School (SMSA). Amidst the 2nd wave of COVID-19 pandemic in Brunei in late 2021, the building was converted into a quarantine area with its designation as COVID-19 Holding Area Belait 6th Form (CHABEL6).[9] Therefore, educations were carried out virtually and later in the SMSA building once again.[2]
