Students are selected based on their excellent academic performances via the UPSR (Primary School Assessment Test) and PMR (Lower Secondary Assessment). Sekolah Tun Fatimah was founded in Durian Daun, Malacca in 1956 going by the name Malay Girls Secondary School . The goal was to educate malay girls from rural areas. Those who aspire to become teachers were enrolled directly into the Malacca Malay Women Teachers Training College (MWTC) after their LCE/SRP examination. The school was officially launched by YB Encik Khir bin Johari, the Minister of Education of Malaya in 1958 and given the name "Tun Fatimah School, named after a famous Malay Srikandi Woman of the Malacca sultanate. Sekolah Tun Fatimah has moved to its current premises in August 1962. On 25 September 1965, STF was officially opened by HRH Sultanah of Johor, Sultanah Ungku Tun Aminah Binti Ungku Ahmad. Rivalries STF have a long held rivalry with two other all-girls premier boarding schools, Kolej Tunku Kurshiah and Sekolah Seri Puteri. However, the rivalry may be seen as a love-hate relationship. The students are rivals in many ways (debate, sports, studies, band etc.) but at other times, they can be the closest of friends. The love-hate relationship has been obvious throughout generations for the three schools.
