It was finally named Penang Chinese Girls' High School in 1951. In 1962, Penang Chinese Girls' High School accepted the change of systems to publicly funded. The Chinese-based private school was kept under a different name, thus Penang Chinese Girls' Private High School. This school used to accept boys, now no more.[1]
