Facilities
Pyay Campus
- The Library building was built solely with the funds generously donated by Daw Mya Than.
- A Football field - the field is steeped in history, as it was the site of a small nationalist vernacular school, which rented the field from 1932-1934. The field also housed refugee huts during the Second World War. The Student Volunteer Army of the Union of Burma, called Thanmani-tut in Burmese (lit. Steel Forces), were trainined in the field. Most of the Thanmani-tut were used in the reconquest of the country from rebels and KMT forces.
- One Canteen - although Pyay Campus has around 3000 students, the canteen is small in comparison to the student body.The new one,comparatively larger than the old,is now being built and it is expected to open in early 2009.
- Yadana Hall - former assembly hall, used for Ka-htein and other religious ceremonies.
- Anu-pyin-nyar Hall - new assembly hall built in the new school wing, now used for school reunions and functions
- Biology-Chemistry Lab - when the old lab was handed back to the Institute of Education, a new one was built to replace it, in the new school wing. However, like all schools in Myanmar, equipment and chemicals are extremely hard to replace (high student population, funding issues, lack of teachers) and thus is seldom used.
- PT(Physical Training) Hall - an older occupant of the campus, it was renovated in 2004. It also serves as a back-up assembly hall and badminton court.
- IT Lab - built in the new school wing under the government's policy to embrace information technology, the IT lab also shares the same site with the Biology-Chemistry Lab, though it is more frequently used.
Hlaing Campus
Due to insufficient space in the Pyay Campus, much of the modernisation and equipment are channelled to the Hlaing Campus
- A new IT lab, better equipped than the one at Pyay Campus. Some lessons are held in the lab.
- Canteen - a very large canteen compared to the one at Pyay Campus
- 8 Lecture Theatres - used time to time for exams and certain classes
- Football field
- PT Lodges - used for ping-pong and other games requiring only small spaces.

Famous quotes containing the word facilities:
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
