The proposal was Macalister Road. 11 March 1951 Fukien Girls' School was renamed as the Penang Chinese Girls' High School and the primary school was renamed as the Penang Chinese Girls' Primary School. January 1956 The students attend their classes at the new school building at 2, Gottlieb Road 1962 The school accepted full government aid. As a consequence, the school was divided into 2 sections—a national-type school and an independent high school (for overaged pupils). 1963 A kindergarten was opened.
