The new building was launched on 10 October 1922. Due to the increasing number of students, Mr.Lim Lean Teng gave the school and Han Chiang High School a big piece of land measuring 33 acres. Construction of the new school commenced and was completed in August 1962. In September 1962, the school moved in to this school block.

Constructions begin on July 1994. The foundation stone of the building was located by Dato H'ng Bok San on March 1995. The building was officially launched by The Chief Minister Of Penang, Tan Sri Dr. Koh Tsu Koon. The school anniversary was celebrated on 18 August until 2007, after a check on the history books, the real date of the school's anniversary was on 10 October. The school anniversary was changed to 10 October from 18 August.
