In 2000, the school changed its name to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Bintang Utara (SBU). It was moved to a new location at Taman Shamelin Perkasa, Cheras and was established as one of the first Smart Schools in Malaysia. The BBGS landmark on Bukit Bintang Road was demolished to build Pavilion KL, a commercial site in Kuala Lumpur.[2][3][4]
The school song is adapted from a hymn (Presbyterian Hymnal) entitled "Land of Our Birth" after the Second World War. In 1989, Miss Yeo Kim Eng, a former student and teacher of Bukit Bintang Girl School, translated the lyrics into the country's national language, Bahasa Melayu.[citation needed]
Sport housesedit
The school consists of five sports houses. The sports houses compete against each other on sports day. The houses are named after the headmistresses of BBGS.
