The Convent Primary School, or Sekolah Kebangsaan Convent (SK Convent), at Tanah Rata is one of the oldest and most elegant structures in Cameron Highlands. As with many of the older buildings in Cameron Highlands, the SK Convent's original function was as a British Army Hospital. After all, Cameron Highlands was the choice destination for those seeking respite from the heat and malaria of the lowlands, and here, the British officers can at least feel at home.
The Convent Primary School at Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands.
The British Army Hospital was only taken over by the Convent Primary School as late as 1971. This Roman Catholic Convent school overlooks the main road over the town of Tanah Rata. I visitied it on one of my trips to explore Cameron Highlands.
