Maktab Nasional

The school was founded in 1985 and was located at the present St Peter's College Initiation Year campus in Karamunsing, Kota Kinabalu. Then, a group of new buildings were built in Jalan Istiadat, Likas in 1988 to form its daughter primary school which was later to be known as SRS Datuk Simon Fung, in honour of the late Bishop Datuk Simon Fung of the-then diocese (now Archdiocese) of Kota Kinabalu. With the tragic loss of the old primary school block in 1993 at the Jalan Istiadat premises, the schools moved to the present location at Kingfisher Park, Likas, where it took another two years until 1995 to form the Kompleks Pendidikan St. Simon (St. Simon Educational Complex) together with the kindergarten and pre-school section known as Taska & Tadika Datuk Simon Fung that has been established since 1990. == Internal structure ==
