Focused Vision, Driving Growth
Founded as Sentral Technology College, we went through two significant changes – renamed SENTRAL College Penang and relocated to the gleaming 14-storey SENTRAL Tower. The relocation reflects our success in growing the College into an all-encompassing institution. We reaffirmed our founding goal and are committed to realise our vision.
“To be an impactful and significant institution fostering programme relevance, creative thinking and institutional excellence”.
We aspire to achieve this vision steadily but surely – all within the context of mutual respect, active learning and caring, liberty and justice, adopting the best of education practices aligned with the National Education Philosophy.
