The success of the Sunway A-Level programme is visible through the quality of the students who shine through with excellent performance. “We have groomed and shaped numerous intakes of students who have benefitted from a highly experienced team of lecturers. The programme imparts a strong academic grounding using tried and tested teaching methods. With such support, the programme has always managed to secure a consistent number of Top in the World and Top in Malaysia awards by the Cambridge International Examinations, CIE over the years since 1987. I am proud to mention that, based on the June and November examinations last year, there were 10 Sunway A-levels students who garnered 16 Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards by the CIE this year. Although most have graduated, some will be graduating this evening”, said Elizabeth Lee, Executive Director of Sunway Education Group in her welcome address.

The Sunway A-Level programme also provides a myriad of opportunities for students to develop their leadership, communication and time-management abilities through the activities of the A-Level student council, ALSCO. In an effort to nurture more socially aware students, ALSCO students are tasked with real world community-related projects. Sunway College commends the graduating class of 2010 and wishes them all the best in their future undertakings.
