The school has a lot of dress codes for each student to solidified their standing as an outstanding student based on the day of the week and time. On Mondays, students would wear a white shirt with long sleeves for boys; Baju Kurung with black skirt for girls. While on Wednesdays, they would usually wear the uniform of their respective uniform units. On Thursdays, they will wear their sport attire based on their houses whether it is Waja, Perdana, Wira and Satria; while they will wear an exclusive design of traditional batik clothes specifically on the first week of the month. Fridays on the other hand, they will wear a white Baju Melayu completed with a beautiful blue samping for the boys while Baju Kurung is worn by the girls.
The school stages an assembly every weekday morning in which started with shouting out 'KUSESS SUKSES' prayers are recited was then followed by the singing of Malaysia's national anthem (Negaraku), the Selangor State song and the school songs. The national pledge (Rukun Negara) is also recited during the assembly. It was then closed with sending regards to the teachers. During the days of Puan Rosida; the school's third principle, 'spot talk' was held during the assembly. A student is chosen at random and given a topic to talk about in English.
While in much more recent days, a speech or presentation regarding other language being taught at KUSESS during assembly such as Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Arabic and German every Wednesday. This is so the student at KUSESS can learn other language than English, Malay and the language they've taken.
