Belait Sixth Form Centre (Malay: Pusat Tingkatan Enam Belait, PTEB), is a co-educational sixth form school located in Mumong, Kuala Belait, Brunei. The current principal is Mrs. Chin Ai Fong.[3]
History[edit]
Construction of the campus was immediately put to a halt in 2014, after two separate accidents took place at the same construction site of the same project.[4] The first accident claimed the life an Indonesian worker,[5] while the second accident injured 9 other workers.[6][7] On 31 October 2017, the school began applying fireproof materials to the building.[8]
Prior to the opening of the school on 16 November 2020 students carried out higher educations in the Sayyidina Ali Secondary School (SMSA). Amidst the 2nd wave of COVID-19 pandemic in Brunei in late 2021, the building was converted into a quarantine area with its designation as COVID-19 Holding Area Belait 6th Form (CHABEL6).[9] Therefore, educations were carried out virtually and later in the SMSA building once again.[2]

The school offers curriculum for the Cambridge 'A' and 'AS' levels, namely:
