In 1935, Fr. Lawrence Hyde completed the main building block of the school at Katugastota. They stand tall to this day to his credit. The hostelers, who had by then increased to about 150, had their dormitories upstairs in the main block while the Office; Hall, Library and Chapel were on the ground floor. The smaller section behind which then consisted of a single story, contained dining rooms and some classrooms. The playing field too was gradually expanded to its present size, thanks to Fr. Van Reyks share in it. Fr. Robert Perera had the first Pavilion built at this time. On 1 November 1941, the Kandy branch was officially separated from St. Anthonys College, now well established at Katugastota. Most likely re-dedication of school in 1946 after 4 year occupation by British Military.
