Obviously not built then, because it looks like the original house was used.
These are B&W photocopies of postcards, which explains their rough appearance.
(I was friends with a postcard dealer who let me photocopy cards I couldn't afford).
The top one was sent by Meg in 1911 and the message she wrote was: "This is a view of this convent lately taken; some of my pupils are in the scene. See all the rhododendrons! The place is full of them and they looked gorgeous all in bloom."
The bottom one was sent in 1913, and shows that the school had boys as well.
