History
The school was established as a full junior secondary school in 1971 as Berakas English School (BES).[4] In 1985, the school was renamed to as it is known today.[5] By January 1976, Berakas English School, which included a little over 400 students in Forms 5, 4, and 3 who were retaking the Brunei Junior Certificate of Education Examination (BJCE) test, had finished moving to the former Detention Camp to deal with the growing student population and lack of classroom space in some schools.[6] On 8 February 1993, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah visited the school.[7]
