[3] In 1937,[4] efforts were initiated to raise funds for the establishment of a school in response to the growing number of overseas Chinese children and the needs of the local community.

By 1938, the primary section of the school was completed, featuring wooden walls, atap roofs, and consisting of three classrooms, a conference room, and a teacher's quarter.

By the spring of 1946, reconstruction was completed, and Liu Bihui was hired as principal to oversee the reopening in July, enrolling approximately 100 students across three classes.

To address this, the school board launched a third fundraising campaign, raising more than ¥70,000 for new construction, with contributions from the oil field company and individual donors such as Liu Qin.

In 1953, construction began on a new primary school building on a 1 acre (0.40 ha) plot provided by the Brunei government[7] in the southeast corner of Seria.

The architectural plans were approved in May 1959, and construction began shortly after, funded through a combination of government subsidies and a fundraising campaign that raised ¥58,000.

That same year, a winding corridor was added to connect the teacher dormitory and classroom buildings, and a new steel-reinforced cement bridge was built at the school gate.

To make room for the auditorium, the sports ground was reduced in size, prompting the school to petition the government for three additional acres of land to accommodate new facilities, including basketball and football courts.

He returned for a surprise second visit on 11 August 2003,[8] and was later present at the school's gallery show in 2009, held at the International Convention Centre during Chinese New Year festivities.

[6] In more recent years, the school marked another important development with the signing of an agreement for the construction of a staff dormitory on 18 February 2021,[9] followed by a groundbreaking ceremony on 3 June.
