From the centre of the logo emerges a book which is a source of knowledge in all fields for the benefit of a peaceful and prosperous nation. In front of the book is the figure of a student in need of guidance and instruction from teachers. Flanking the student are the figures of a female and a male teacher who share the same views about the subjects taught and the co-curriculum. They constantly encourage students to improve their academic and co-curricular performance in accordance with the principles of Rukun Negara. At the bottom is a thick curve with the slogan "HIDUP BERBAKTI" (a life of service). This wide and strong foundation represents the unity of teachers.
