The "Diocesan Home and Orphanage" was founded in 1869, replacing the "Diocesan Native Female Training School". It admitted boys and girls, and occupied the building at the corner of Eastern Street and Bonham Road.
By 1892 all the girls were transferred to the Fairlea School (later Heep Yunn). The Diocesan Home and Orphanage was renamed the "Diocesan School and Orphanage" and took in boys only.
In 1902 the school was again renamed and became the "Diocesan Boys' School and Orphanage".
Former Primary School in the Sek Kong Families Village

During the Japanese Occupation, the site was once used as a police station and a jail.
