The new chapel was built in 1922-1923. Thomas Silk was the architect, Baker and Stronach the builders.
    

In 1924 the boarders numbered 120. This necessitated more accommodation and classrooms.
    
In 1933 (the golden jubilee year) another storey was added to the school.
 
    
In the early 1940s St Cecelia’s Music Rooms (now the Resource Centre) and two dormitories were linked to the dormitory which had been built in 1925 and the brick fence was added.
   

Congregational leader at that time, Mother M. Alphonsus Londrigan, harmonised the buildings by duplicating the chapel cloister’s arch form on façades of earlier buildings.
