History

CPHS was established in 1949 and the first teachers were all members of the Presbyterian/United Church. [2] The school originally opened on land behind the George Town Library, in buildings repurposed from a former U.S. Navy World War II base. [2]

Its high school programme began in 1997, and that year its current primary school on Smith Road opened. [3] There are separate campuses for primary and high school in George Town. [4] [5] Each campus includes a playing field, assembly hall, library, and dedicated facilities for specialized subjects, such as information and communication technology (ICT). The high school also features fully equipped science laboratories. [1]

The board of governors and the school's chairman are appointed by the church's board. [1]
