SMK St. George Balik Pulau

St. George's Balik Pulau (GPS: 5.35379, 100.23742), known today as Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan St. George Balik Pulau, is a secondary school in Balik Pulau. It is adjacent to the St. George's Primary School (Sekolah Kebangsaan St George Balik Pulau). Both were established by Hakka-speaking Catholic missionaries from the Church of the Holy Name of Jesus. The school traces its history to the late 19th century, when classes were held within the compound of the church. It was then known as St Anthony's School.

The present school building dates back to 1936. It is located across the Balik Pulau Main Road from the church. It took on the present name following its relocation.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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