Social Responsibility KTJ’s Vision 2030 is an ambitious 10-year plan with five strategic goals, one of which is: ‘Championing sustainability’. Our aim is to develop students who actively contribute to the betterment of society, whether it’s through projects which focus on community development, the environment or equality.

One of the most impactful initiatives from this academic year has been KTJ’s Anti-Racism Campaign, organised by the Diversity and Inclusion Team. Students engaged in a number of activities and talks throughout the week, including creating Anti-Racism Wall Murals in their boarding houses.

KTJ’s Peer-to-Peer Support Group have been working hard to raise awareness of mental health within the school community. They marked Mental Health Awareness Month with a “Wear it green” mufti day, which was supported by Cafe Diem which served green pastries and desserts!

Money raised from the mufti was donated to the Malaysian Mental Health Association (MMHA).

Finally, KTJ Sixth Form students, Marcus, Ryan and Syed designed and coded an app called Enviropal, which helps individuals to measure and offset their carbon emissions. The app was developed as part of a weeklong FOBISIA coding involving 23 schools in South East Asia. Enviropal was deemed “exceptional” by the judges and featured in the top five apps which showed “real spark”.
