SMK Convent Bukit Nanas, Kuala Lumpur (7 July, 2016)


SMK Convent Bukit Nanas (GPS: 3.15247, 101.70082) is a major school in Kuala Lumpur. Located on Jalan Bukit Nanas, comprises the primary SK Convent Bukit Nanas 1 & 2, and the secondary SMK Convent Bukit Nanas. The school traces its beginnings to 1899, thus making it among the oldest schools in the country.

As with the St John's Institution down the road, Convent Bukit Nanas was established by Catholic missionaries. In this case, it was the nuns of the Congregation of the Holy Infant Jesus. The school, in its earliest incarnation, was housed in the garden shed of a private home on Ampang Road, by the banks of the Gombak River, across from Bukit Nanas, where the present school is located. Its first decade was nomadic, with a sojourn to Brickfields, where it occupied a building that was formerly the Victoria Hotel.

Convent Bukit Nanas shifted to its present location in 1911. The choice of a higher ground is to prevent the school from being interrupted by floods. The English Gothic-style school building, now used by the primary schools, was completed in that year.

As with most schools in the country, Convent Bukit Nanas saw an interruption during the Second World War, when school went into recess until the Japanese Occupation was over, and the headmistress Rev. Mother Adele returned to continue operating it.

In 1958, the Convent Bukit Nanas Primary School was established, and from then on, the school split into primary and secondary schools. Three years later, in 1961, the Convent Bukit Nanas Secondary School began offering Form Six classes.

Convent Bukit Nanas was one of four schools in Malaysia honoured with a commemorative stamp, in a series issued by Pos Malaysia on 16 December, 2008.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
