In 1947 it erected its own building. Up to 1956 the school had a total enrolment of 1,042 students, of whom 226 had been graduated. In 1955/56, 163 students were enrolled. In 1955/56 grades seven and eight were added. The principals to that year had been Henry Wall, Gerhard Lohrenz, William Neufeld, A. K. Duerksen and Victor Adrian.
