SMKBUD4

History

Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bandar Utama Damansara (4) opened on 1 December 2001. On 4 January 2002, the school had its first orientation day. The school's educational process was started on 7 January 2002 which was the opening date for schools around the nation that year. The school started with Form 1 students and "Remove" students who had poor academic results during their UPSR exams. The school started with only 132 students, 13 teachers and a principal. The first principal was Puan Liu Ling Ling.

On October 2006, Puan Liu Ling Ling retired and the school hosted a farewell party for the principal in the Eastin Hotel. The year 2006 was also the school's first batch of students who took the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) exam which was held on November.

In 2007, the school received a new principal, Puan Hasni Binti Hassan. However Puan Hasni was reposted as Principal of her former school at the year end of 2007 in the Bandar Utama region.

In March 2009, SMK Bandar Utama Damansara (4) once again changed principal due to peer pressure and excessive commotion amongst the students, parents and teachers. She was eventually reassigned to another school in Bandar Sri Damansara. The new principal, Mr. Tay Keng Lee, (BUD4's fourth principal) arrived in hopes of raising the school's SPM standards and school discipline.

In August 2010, Mr. Tay Keng Lee was posted back to his former school in SMK Seri Kembangan to replace the newly retired principal. On 29 December 2010, Puan Ashimah Binti Ahmad, the new principal of SMKBUD4 arrived to take up the position.

Pn Ashimah was eventually posted to SMK Damansara Jaya less than a year later and the school received a new principal, Puan Normal Binti Ismail. However, she retired the following year and the school hosted a farewell party for her on 1 March 2013. Pn Misliah Binti Kulop has since taken up the position of principal until the 31st of March 2014, she has transferred away.

Now, the school has a new principal, Pn Zuraidah Bt. Ismail who was from SMK Damansara Utama.

Students

The students are filtered through several different classes. The top students are filtered to the top classes, while the least academically-wise ones are filtered to the bottom classes. Some classes, presumably First Classes, are without Muslim students, to make class shiftings during Islamic Studies/Chinese Language/Moral Studies easier without students walking all over the school to their classes. At the beginning of every year, every class will select a class monitor and a sub-class monitor. These students will help to keep order in the class and do additional tasks given by the teachers.

Every year, some students, mostly Form 2 students, will be selected/applied to certain jobs, such as the school prefects, school librarians, editorial board and quarter masters. When chosen/accepted for a specific job, the student will become a probation member and will be trained and tested to qualify for the job. Once qualified, the student will be promoted and will start doing their job and be given tasks at certain periods.

The current head prefect of SMK Bandar Utama Damansara (4) is Aslinda Jie binti Ismail, along with Brandon Marc Too and Veronique Lin Xien Vern as her assistants.
