During the occupation, MGS and MBS functioned as two separate schools on the grounds of our school and later amalgamated into one school till the surrender. In September 1945, both schools reopened in early October, the MGS as the morning school, and the MBS an afternoon school.

Educational rehabilitation is taxing and calls for great resourcefulness on the part of the teachers and other organizers. Fortunately for MGS, it was work that was cheerfully and nobly done by all concerned.

The building itself was not destroyed during the war, neither by bombs nor, to any notable extent, by the blowing up of the bridges on either side of the building before the retreat. We suffered most at the hands of looters and the Japanese Military.

The problem of the school then was space. There was an insufficient number of classrooms, a lack of playground for games and a great deal of noise from the area around which made the process of teaching and learning almost impossible.

In her efforts to rehouse the school, Miss Marsh met with a number of problems and obstacles. The Methodist Mission had to surrender the old Methodist Girls' School building and grounds to the Government in exchange for the Hospital compound.
