"No such thing is going on," its director, Datuk Jame Alip, said in a text message to The Star on Wednesday.
The WhatsApp and other social media have been busy with talk of many non-Muslim students in the school who were forced to recite the Syahadah and accept Islam as their new religion during the morning assembly.
There were claims that those who refused would be treated harshly and many students were leaving their hostels for fear of being converted.
Earlier this month, a student of SMK Kinarut was said to have been forced to convert by a hostel warden (who has been transferred to another school) without her parents' consent.
The matter came to light when her father saw her donning the 'tudung' (headscarf) when he went to the hostel to fetch her home.
Police said the girl is still a Christian as her parents never consented to her converting.
