Kowloon Junior School was established in 1902 as part of the Kowloon British School after a donation of $15,000 was received from Sir Robert Ho Tung in 1900. The government made available a suitable site for development and it was provided in the original Robinson Road, later to be renamed Nathan Road.
In 1923, the school was renamed Central British School (now King George V School) to offer a secondary curriculum, and junior age children were relocated to the new Kowloon Junior School (KJS) on Gun Club Hill Barracks (now King’s Park).
In 1929, KJS moved to Parkside opposite the Kowloon Cricket Club on Cox’s Road. However, during World War II, the building was destroyed. It was not until 1950 when KJS finally found its permanent home at Perth Street.
In 1980, KJS became an ESF school and to meet the overwhelming demand for quality education in the community, KJS established extra classes at another school building on Rose Street in 1994. Each campus accommodated 450 students until the redevelopment of the new KJS campus at Perth Street was finally completed in August 2013.
