Economics block, the gymnasium and the canteen. In 1969, the St Hugh's Extension School was established to help address the demand for additional secondary school spaces. This was absorbed in 1978 when the government introduced the two-shift system in schools. The school's boarding facility was closed in 1969.

The school acquired the Aub house and also secured permission to use a portion of the Caenwood property for a playing field. The property at 7 Leinster Road was also acquired in 1976. Following Mrs Carnegie's resignation in 1979, Miss Marjorie Thomas became principal. She was succeeded in 1987 by Mrs Marcia Stewart, a past student of the school, followed by Miss Daphne Morrison who acted as principal until the appointment of Mrs Yvette Smith in 1996.

Leinster Road. By 1960, the School had almost 600 students enrolled. A new physics laboratory was added to the existing biology and chemistry laboratories. A Commercial Department was opened in 1965 and in the late 1960s a modern language laboratory was built, along with a swimming pool.
