Principal's Message

Every year we gather our thoughts to remember and savour the past, to celebrate the achievement of our students in their great journey of learning and to look forward to welcoming new students who join us for a journey that will bring them the richness of learning and to prepare them to live a life of significance. SENTRAL is pleased to play a vital role in the provision of higher educational programmes to meet the varying needs of current day learners wishing to obtain globally recognised qualifications in pursuit of their career goals.

After almost 15 years since its inception in the Jalan Zainal Abidin Campus, SENTRAL College moved to its new George Town Campus in December 2013. The move is rooted deeply in the College's commitment towards providing a time and place for young students to develop wholesomely to serve their family, community and the country. I would like to thank all the constituent members of the College, past and present, students and staff alike, for contributing to the success of the College that has powered the College to this great heights.

SENTRAL continues to put the learning and education needs of the students first by focusing on quality and integrity to provide the student with a body of knowledge in their chosen disciplines while providing exciting stimulus for a lifelong learning experience. There is an emerging shift from education for employment (developing the ability to do a specific job) to education for employability (developing the ability to adapt skills to new working environments). This fits well into the government's aspiration of becoming a high-income nation, which is hinged on having people who have a high sense of personal mastery and can extend their abilities to change organisational realities. All planned programmes of learning at SENTRAL are relevant, comprehensive and presented to meet the real needs of learners for the real world.

As you step into your educational journey at SENTRAL and beyond, think and act more to become useful; choose knowledge and skills over physical comfort and idleness, choose leadership over being mere average, choose to be innovative, pro-active and knowledge building than be complacent, passive and parroting. You will develop habits that will stand you in good stead when you set out in your life and your chosen profession. Be confident and be as interesting as you can and, work in partnership with colleagues and friends to make progress in the world. We look forward to welcoming you to be part of SENTRAL's community of learners.
