Uniform requirements vary by campus. At Mendaram/Rampayoh (early years) and Teraja (upper primary) there is no formal school uniform; pupils wear climate-appropriate clothing and a jumper for air-conditioned spaces, with a PE outfit available from the Rampayoh and Teraja administration. Melilas (middle years) has a school uniform. The polo shirt is available from the school office and appropriate legwear that covers the upper thigh is required for sun safety and practical subjects.
The school day includes a 9:00–9:30 morning break and a 11:30–12:20 lunch break. The site does not indicate an on-site canteen or hot meals, and parents are encouraged to pack healthy snacks for their children.

Panaga School is a unique international community school located in the serene Panaga residential area of Brunei, catering specifically to the families of Shell and its business partners. Established in 1948 and now operated by Jerudong International School (JIS), it offers a seamless educational journey for children aged 2 to 13 years. The school is split across two campuses—Mendaram/Rampayoh for early years and lower primary, and Teraja/Melilas for upper primary and middle years—allowing for age-appropriate learning environments. The curriculum blends the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) and International Primary Curriculum (IPC) with the British curriculum for English and Mathematics, ensuring a robust academic foundation alongside thematic, inquiry-based learning. Distinctive features include specialist teachers for Art, Music, Digital Education, and Physical Education even at the primary level, and a Dutch Language (NTC) programme for eligible students. With its coastal location, the school emphasizes outdoor education and leverages its "Expeditions Week" to foster resilience and environmental stewardship.
There are several platforms that list schools. But only one has every school in Southeast Asia, fully impartial, and designed for parents: doris.
