Penang Chinese Girls High School

Penang Chinese Girls' High School (17 July 2005)


Penang Chinese Girls' High School (GPS: 5.43385, 100.30194) at Gottlieb Road, George Town, is one of the biggest Chinese schools in Malaysia. Often referred to as "Bing Hua", the Penang Chinese Girls' High School is renowned for producing students of academic excellence as well as those who excel in co-curricular activities.

The Penang Chinese Girls' High School was founded in 1920 by four prominent members of the Penang Hokkien Chinese community, namely Mr Tan Sin Cheng, Mr Lim Lu Tek, Mr Khor Sen Lee and Mr Cheah Seng Tin. As it was founded to benefit the Hokkien community, it was initially called the Fukien Girls' School. Classes were held at Macalister Road, at what is now the Penang Sun Yat Sen Centre.

On 11 March 1951, the Fukien Girls' School was renamed to embrace all Penang Chinese Girls, becoming the Penang Chinese Girls' High School and Penang Chinese Girls' Primary School. Incidentally, the primary school offers co-educational classes to both boys and girls.

The Penang Chinese Girls' Schools moved to their present premises at 2 Gottlieb Road in January 1956. In 1962, when the school accepted full government aid, it was divided into two section - the national type school and the independent high school for overaged pupils. The following year the Penang Chinese Girls' School started its kindergarten as well, thus providing continuous education from pre-school to high school.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
