A hostel planned and then under construction was delayed in 1967.[3]
Beginning on 1 March 2023, classes would be held in the new Sultan Hassan Secondary School facility in Kampong Batu Apoi, Temburong District. The original school building, which was built around 1984 and began operation in 1986, was to be replaced by the current building. The renovation project was in keeping with the Ministry of Education's long-term goals and desire to offer a more hospitable and high-quality educational infrastructure.[4] On 20 February, the new building was turned over to the ministry. There are 714 pupils, 80 teachers, and 16 support staff members in the new building.[5]
