Like all True Light Middle School in Hong Kong, the predecessor is True Light Seminary, which is the first girl school in South China.[1] Because of the Civil War in 1949, True Light Girl School in Guangzhou moved to Hong Kong and placed on Waterloo Road No.115 (which is Kowloon True Light Primary School for now) and named it as Kowloon True Light Secondary School. It moved to Suffolk Road in 1960.
In 1949, due to the communist takeover of Guangzhou, the school transferred to Hong Kong. It was finally relocated to the current site in 1960, with an affiliated primary school and kindergarten opened on its original campus on Waterloo Road. In 1990, the basketball court was demolished, in order to build a new annex. In addition, a six-story new building was completed in 2006.
