The old building of the school towards the southern part was a marvelous piece of architecture, it was a stone building of colonial times - 1935.[4] But due to the trustee's decision it was demolished in 2002 in the name of a shopping complex and concrete construction of an old building. Before this demolishment there were four school buildings:[4]
