On 16 December 2008, Pos Malaysia issued a premium set of four commemorative stamps and first-day cover, honouring four Premier Schools of Malaysia - Convent Bukit Nanas and Victoria Institution in Kuala Lumpur, SMK St. Thomas in Kuching and SM All Saints in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah for their superiority in academics, sports and extra-curricular activities.

The first convent school was located in Nyonya Ah Yok's garden shed, and the Sisters lived on the first floor of her country house by the River Gombak on Ampang Road.

To the rescue came Towkay Goh Ah Ngee who gave temporary residence to the Sisters and the children at his house in Semenyih.

Towkay Goh Ah Ngee, as one of the benefactors of the convent, continued to help the Sisters, even providing a carriage and pony for their grocery shopping.

On 15 January 1901, Victoria Hotel - once the venue of annual general meetings of the United Planters' Association - became home to Reverend Mother St. André, 17 sisters, 60 orphans and a school for 22 boarders and 100 day pupils.

1907 The school got its first grand piano, donated by Milly O'Hara Music lessons introduced by Rev Mother St. Augustin.

He recommended that each student in the Higher Elementary Standards be provided with an atlas or map of reference for the Geography lesson.

E.L. Brockman said in his opening address that he felt confident of the Sister's ability to raise the $26,000 that would be required to pay for the school building and extension.

Their benefactors knew that the money would be 'well lid out' for besides 'offering a sound education to children of all classes and creeds, the sisters cared for orphans of whom there were 108 in the convent at the present time.

[1]: 65 1915 - 1924 Chapel built; blessed by Monsignor Barillon on 27 September, it would be a sacred place of prayer and reflection for generations of students.

The Convent Bukit Nanas became a temporary sanctuary for hundreds of civilian refugees, and a home for even more orphans and abandoned babies.

The Sisters grew vegetables on two acres in Kajang, drew water from a well in the courtyard, and looked after 400 refugees throughout the Japanese Occupation.

[1]: 77 1945 - 1965 After the Japanese Occupation, Rev Mother Adele returned CBN to its original state with the help of the British Military Administration (BMA).

The Houses took the names of current and previous headmistresses: Aidan (Red), Pauline (Blue), Adele (Yellow), and Xavier (Green).

On top of a hill once planted with pineapple and coffee, and only a stone's throw from St. John's Institution and Cathedral, the site at Bukit Nanas was the location to start the convent.

The CBN secondary school administers two national Malaysian exams, the PT3 (Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3), and SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia.

Bahasa Malaysia lyrics by Puteri Zalina[1]: 53 CBN's senior cheer leading team, Xavier, was established in the year 2000.

Xavier maintains a friendly rivalry with premier cheer leading squads like Cyren's from Sri Kuala Lumpur.

With the 120 years Anniversary of the school in 2019, former students Azian, Trish, Julie, Poal Hong, Premila, Shireen, Jennifer, Vasantha and Rosalind, set up a PROTEM team on a rainy afternoon in May 2018.

The PROTEM put a plan underway to launch the Alumni association with an Afternoon Tea event, at the Majestic Hotel.

The Afternoon Tea held in July 2018 was a resounding success, with the launch of the Alumni association by the Bank Negara Governor and fellow Alumnus, Datuk Nor Shamsiah Binti Mohd Yunus.

The Alumni’s vision is to uphold the ethos and values of the school, enshrined with a sense of purpose and charity to the community at large.

For the Sisters and the Teachers, the Committee turned to libraries and archives to uncover information that would help place the School in its proper historical perspective.

The Committee wrote, faxed, and telephoned hundreds of Old Girls (alumnae) - from Hong Kong to Australia to England to the United States of America - asking them to cull schoolgirl photographs from their albums.

The Board comprised three representatives each from the Mission, parent body and the local education office and past students.

While the new Boards worked to safeguard Mission interests, they represented a radical change from the traditional administration model under which the Reverend Mother Principal had full control, answerable to her Provincial and the local Education Officer.
