Facilities

The school consists of several buildings over both the original site and the new section. Upon completion of the new site, the operational buildings are migrated to the new section of the school. This section includes two blocks of four-storied buildings, a canteen, a new field, and a multi-purposed enclosed court. The administration of the school is situated at the first floor of the main block where the headmaster's office and senior assistants offices are, as well as teachers room.

The school library was moved from its original location to the new section to make it more accessible for the students. Since a great majority of the teachers and students are Muslims, the school also provides a dedicated prayer room and ablution facilities.

The school has a well-equipt Science laboratory and a Living Skills workshop. The school computer laboratory was built within the old section after the migration and remained as the main computer lab.

The sports facilities are provided in both sections. A 200-metres running track and a multi-purposed field, which are used for hockey and football, are provided in the new section while the old section still house the school main volleyball court.

School Houses

• House of Laksamana (Yellow)
• House of Temenggung (Blue)
• House of Shahbandar (Green)
• House of Bendahara (Red)

Students would represent their houses and compete throughout the year to win the house cup. The major tournaments are usually only happen during the annual sports day championship.

Co-curicular Activities

All students are required to join a society and a uniformed body in Bukit Tiu. Students can choose to participate from several academic-based societies from Malay Language Society to Mathematics Society to Islamic Society. Amongst the uniform bodies that are offered by the school includes Association of Scouts of Malaysia, Malaysian Red Crescent Society, Tunas Kadet Remaja Sekolah and Pergerakan Puteri Islam Malaysia.

Interested students can also represent Bukit Tiu in sports or programme that they are excellent in.
