I went to school at SRJK (English) Gombak 2 from 1968 to 1973.

The school was originally known as Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Inggeris) Gombak. It was officially opened on 28 November 1964 by the then Menteri Besar of Selangor, Dato' Harun bin Hj Idris.

In 1971, the school was formally divided into two administrative entities, Gombak 1 and Gombak 2, to manage the large number of students. 

The photo of 1970 (Standard 3C) represents the final year before the school transitioned into the two separate morning/afternoon session schools that defined it for decades.
