In 1881 there were more than 300 students enrolled. Buxley Lodge (School Campus at Caine Road bought by Bishop Raimondi in 1876) was found to be too small. A piece of land in Glenealy below Robinson Road was bought in March. The original structure was a two-storey building, but a third was added in 1898 for the accommodation of boarders. Three years after completion of the building, the wings were added.
