130-year-old school may close


Fading history: After more than 120 years, SK Pykett now needs a new location.

GEORGE TOWN: The historical Pykett Methodist School, which was founded as part of the Methodist Boys’ School or the Anglo-Chinese School here in 1891, is heading for closure.

Some parents are aghast that the missionary school with a rich history has stopped enrolment for Year One pupils from next year.
