Our guest speaker Azrene Soraya binti Abdul Aziz Azrene, a proud alumna of KTJ (Class of 1996), is the founder of Imago Training & Consultancy Sdn Bhd, one of Malaysia’s leading image consultancy firms. A dynamic entrepreneur and changemaker, Azrene is also the visionary behind Three Little Ahmads, a children's wear company she established in 2017. The brand is thoughtfully designed to cater to children with special educational needs, offering adaptive garments that combine comfort, functionality, and style.

Driven by a deep commitment to social impact, Azrene ensures that all garments are produced locally in Malaysia by single mothers, stay-athome mothers, and fashion graduates facing employment challenges. Her company actively supports traditional craftsmanship by working with skilled local artisans and using sustainable materials, contributing to the preservation of Malaysia’s Batik heritage.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Three Little Ahmads expanded its mission by producing PPE for medical frontliners and fabric face masks, which were distributed across Malaysia, Australia, Brunei, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.

Currently, Azrene serves as the President of the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI) Malaysia Chapter for the 2024–2026 term, continuing her work in empowering professionals and promoting excellence in the image consultancy industry.

A message from Sarah Chesworth, Head of Secondary It has been an honour to support and guide our Year 11 students through such a pivotal stage in their lives. Over the past two years, they have faced academic challenges with determination, grown in confidence, and developed the resilience and independence that will serve them well in the years ahead. We are immensely proud of everything they have accomplished.

KTJ is more than just a school—it is a vibrant, inclusive community where students are encouraged to discover their passions, challenge themselves, and flourish both in and out of the classroom. Whether performing on stage, competing on the sports field, serving in student leadership, or engaging in service learning, our students make the most of the many opportunities available to them here. The friendships formed, the values instilled, and the memories created at KTJ will last a lifetime.

As our Year 11 students prepare to take their next steps—whether that’s continuing into our Sixth Form or beginning a new chapter elsewhere—we hope they leave with a strong sense of pride and belonging. KTJ will always be part of their story, and we look forward to seeing the incredible things they will go on to achieve.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025.

We wish you happiness, success, and fulfilment in all that lies ahead.

A message from Rachel Easaw, Assistant Head of Secondary At KTJ, learning goes far beyond the classroom and Voices of Tomorrow is a powerful reflection of that. This platform celebrates the individuality, creativity, and courage of our Year 11 students as they express themselves through speeches, music, dance, and performance. It represents the spirit of a KTJ education: one that encourages students to speak with purpose, to share their stories, and to let their inner fire burn brightly.

As they walk forward from this chapter, may our Year 11 students carry with them the light of their journey, bold, bright, and unwavering, ready to illuminate new paths and ready to touch hearts and minds across all walks of life. Through the theme Voices of Tomorrow our students demonstrate that they are not only ready for the future; they are ready to shape it. My journey with them may end here. But I look forward to seeing how the Class 2025 will inspire, lead, and make a difference in the world beyond KTJ.

Congrats, KTJ Class of 2025! You’ve worked hard and now it’s time to celebrate how far you’ve come. Keep your spirit high, embrace every new challenge with a smile, and remember —this is just the start of your adventure.

The best is yet to come!

A message from The Student Council Board, 2024-25 Serving as your Student Council this year has been an unforgettable experience. We want to thank every student and teacher who supported us along the way. Your encouragement, ideas, and energy helped us bring our plans to life and turn challenges into achievements. This year was about more than events, it was about building a stronger school community, and that was only possible because of all of you. We are proud of what we accomplished together, and we are excited for everything this school will grow into. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Voices of tomorrow At KTJ, we believe in empowering our students to become confident, articulate, and compassionate individuals who use their voices to make a meaningful difference. The theme for this year’s Year 11 Graduation Ceremony, Voices of Tomorrow, reflects our commitment to nurturing these qualities.

Whether leading their peers through student leadership roles, crafting compelling arguments in debate competitions, or captivating audiences in school performances, our students consistently demonstrate the courage to speak up and the creativity to inspire. By fostering these essential skills, we are equipping them to become the changemakers of the future.

Throughout the year, the Student Council Board has played a vital role in shaping the student experience. They’ve actively gathered feedback, championed student ideas, and brought forward thoughtful proposals in our meetings. Many of these suggestions have already come to life—from practical improvements like upgrading the water fountain, adding plug sockets at Kedai Runcit, and enhancing school bus conditions, to more transformative initiatives such as introducing new PE kits, and reimagining what a classroom can be.

The graphic design for the Year 11 Graduation Ceremony 2025 was created by our Year 11 Art and Design students.
