Bukit Bintang Girls' School


Bukit Bintang Girls' School established in 1893 with Miss Betty Langlands teaching girls to read in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Formerly known as the Chinese Girls' School, BBGS gained its name after moving to its premises on Bukit Bintang Road in 1930. BBGS was the oldest school in Kuala Lumpur, surpassing Victoria Institution and Methodist Girls' School Kuala Lumpur, Methodist Boys' School Kuala Lumpur, Convent Bukit Nanas and as well St. John's Institution, Kuala Lumpur.
In 2000, the school changed its name to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Bintang Utara. It was moved to a new location at Taman Shamelin Perkasa, Cheras and was established as one of the first Smart Schools in Malaysia. The BBGS landmark on Bukit Bintang Road was demolished to build Pavilion KL, a commercial site in Kuala Lumpur.

School song

The school song is adapted from a hymn entitled "Land of Our Birth" after the Second World War. In 1989, Miss Yeo Kim Eng, a former student and teacher of Bukit Bintang Girl School, translated the lyrics into Bahasa Malaysia.

Sport houses

The school consists of five sports houses. The sports houses compete against each other on sports day. The houses are named after the headmistress of BBGS.
