[citation needed] In 1890, the school acquired a land area of one and a quarter acres through a government grant.

On this site, a building constructed of cypress pine was erected to accommodate the growing student population.

However, available annual reports indicate that a total of £1138 was invested in constructing the building and a teacher's residence during the first two years of the school's establishment.

As attendance continued to rise, additional facilities had to be provided to meet the growing demands.
