History

Bishop Hall Jubilee School was a band one EMI school which established in 1961 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Bishop Ronald Owen Hall. Bishop Ronald Owen Hall was the Anglican bishop of Hong Kong from 1932 to 1966. The school first used the campus of Heep Yunn School. It was split up into two sections: Chinese Middle section and English section. There were 10 classes: 5 Form 1 classes (2 for Chinese Middle section and 3 for English section) and 3 Form 2 classes (2 for Chinese Middle section and 1 for English section) and 2 Form 3 classes (English section only). There was a total of 396 students. After the completion of the school campus in 1962, the school was relocated in 1962 to its present address in Oxford Road, Kowloon Tong.

The school has had four principals. The first principal was Mrs. Helen Wong, principal from 1961 to 1973. The second principal was Mr Chan Chee-Yum from 1973 to 2001. The third principal was Mr. Peter Kwok from 2001 to 2010. The present principal is Ms. Dorothy Pang who became principal in September 2010.

There have been over 7000 graduates of the school. Many alumni have embarked on distinguished careers as lawyers, doctors, university professors and members of the Legislative Council.
