Due to the school’s positive impact on the learning and formative development of the pupils as exemplified by gradual increase in enrolment on year 1998, expansion was done to accommodate more pupils.

In response to the high enrolment rate, the small classrooms were then transferred to a new two-story building situated in School Park Subd.
