• History & Memorable Moments

During the late Qing period, Penang was an important base of Kuomintang for the planning and implementation of the overthrowing of the dynasty. Dr Sun Yat-Sen and his comrades organized the Penang Philomathic Union to serve the purpose. In 1913, the Union activists had determined that education is one of the basic foundations of the revolutionary effort, and in 1915, members of the Union Tan Sin Cheng, Khoo Beng Cheang, Chee Yong Aik, Lim Joo Teik and Khaw Seng Lee et al. met and expressed their resolution to establish a school, and was named “Chung Ling School” at the suggestion of Chee.The school was inaugurated on February 9, 1917, occupying the upper storey of the Penang Philomathic Union, with an enrolment of 81 and a staff strength of three. The first principal was Mr Goh Ah Long. ^[1]

The enrolment had increased to 130 by 1918, and 65 Macalister Road was purchased with the funds raised by the Union members, to be used as classrooms and hostels. Chung Ling High School was formally established on January 20, 1923. The formation of the high school allowed primary school students to continue their lower-secondary studies in the school. Soon the enrolment was again outgrown the classroom capacity, and a shop to the left of the premise was rented. The Lim Trustee later donated funds to build two classrooms at the site. In a 1931 join-effort, the Chung Ling Old Boys’ Association raised funds for the extension of the said classrooms, while the Board of Directors sponsored the modification of the aft corridor into rooms. The government extended assistance in 1932, renovating the lower storey of the left wing into science laboratories, while the lower storey of the right wing was made a library. In addition, shop No. 63 was rented to create additional classrooms. ^[1]
