Bukit Bintang Girls' School (BBGS) began in 1893 with Miss Betty Langlands teaching girls to read in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Formerly known as The Chinese Girls' School, BBGS, as it was later affectionately called, gained its name after moving to its well-known premises on Bukit Bintang Road in 1930. [citation|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=aDsaAAAAIAAJ|pages=128|title=Christianity in Malaysia|author=Robert Hunt, Kam Hing Lee, John Roxborogh|isbn=9789679784077] It was known as one of Kuala Lumpur's premier schools. BBGS was the oldest school in Kuala Lumpur, surpassing Victoria Institution, Methodist Boys' School Kuala Lumpur, Convent Bukit Nanas, St. John's Institution, Kuala Lumpur as well as Maxwell School.
The school adopted the motto "Nisi Dominus Frustra", which is Latin for "Without God, all is in vain".[citation|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=P5m4zNxaaSUC|title=A Loose Canon|author=Brian J. Coman|pages=28|isbn=9780980293623] The school was famously known as BBGS and its students are widely known as BBGSians.]In 2000, the school officially changed its name to S.M.K Seri Bintang Utara (SBU) and S.M.K Seri Bintang Selatan (SBS). It was moved to a new location at Taman Shamelin Perkasa, Cheras and was established as one of the first Smart Schools in Malaysia. SBU is no longer an all-girls' school now but a co-ed. The legendary BBGS landmark on Bukit Bintang Road was demolished to make way for Pavilion KL, a new commercial site in Kuala Lumpur.
