SMK Cochrane, Kuala Lumpur

SMK Cochrane (GPS: 3.1311, 101.72584) is a national secondary school in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. It is located on Jalan Shahbandar, in the neighbourhood of Maluri. The school dates back to 1957, the same year that the country attained independence. Its very first headmaster was Mr Chew Ah Kong, who was previously with the Victoria Institution. In the beginning, it was known as Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Jalan Cochrane.

The sixth headmaster of SMK Jalan Cochrane was Mr Goon Fatt Chee, who wrote the lyrics for the school song. He would later become the headmaster of the Penang Free School from 1974 to 1979.

The school was to be at Jalan Cochrane until 2004, when it relocated to Jalan Shahbandar. With the relocation, it dropped the word "Jalan" from its name, becoming Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Cochrane.
