By 1941 a dedicated building at Kumbang Pasang was constructed on land donated by Mr. George Ah Foott, with the resident priest serving as principal. After World War II, the school was re-established under George Newn Ah Foott, with his daughters as teachers, and Fr. Smit named the school St. George's School after its founder and benefactor. The institution expanded in the following decades under successive clergy and lay principals, including Fr. Delaney in 1953, and since 2013 the principal has been Mr. Janidi Jingan.
