The school moved to its present site in Brandwag in 1970. The foundation stone was laid by Rev Mother Mary Ruth. Many precious relics were also transferred and can be seen in the archives, in the chapel, and on and around the school campus. In 1975, Rev Mother Mary Ruth and the sisters retired from their administrative, academic, and hostel duties in the school. Currently, governance is vested in the school parent community represented by an elected Board of Governors as the School Governing Body.
