Panaga School

Panaga School is located in Panaga, Seria, Brunei Darussalam, on the Brunei Shell Petroleum camp between Kuala Belait and Seria. The campus sits on the coast overlooking the South China Sea and operates across two sites with four buildings. It is situated roughly mid-point between Seria and Kuala Belait, with directions noting access via Jalan Utara from Simpang 511 or Lorong 14 Barat from Seria.

The school provides education for children aged 2–13. It comprises four sections: Mendaram (Pre-Nursery & Nursery, ages 2–4), Rampayoh (lower primary, ages 4–7), Teraja (upper primary, ages 7–11), and Melilas (middle years, ages 11–13). The two sites—Rampayoh/Mendaram and Teraja/Melilas—are about 700–800 metres apart.

Panaga School is a company school operated by Jerudong International School (JIS). It is co-educational. The school does not list boarding facilities; it operates as a day school and relies on families for transport.

Panaga School is described as an inclusive mainstream school that can provide additional learning support for mild to moderate needs, both in and out of class. There is no dedicated unit for more complex educational or health needs.

The school is located in Brunei and serves families connected with Brunei Shell Petroleum and related expatriate communities.

There is no formal religious affiliation indicated for Panaga School.

The Rampayoh (ages 4–7) day starts at 7:40am (staff on duty from 7:30am) with a 9:00am–9:30am morning break and a lunch break 11:30am–12:20pm; the day ends at 2:05pm.

Mendaram arrival timings indicate a start around 8:00am for Pre‑Nursery/Nursery.
