Hostel
HOSTEL
The hostel consists of three similar units in close proximity. The hostel superintendent lives in a seperate house on the same premises. He is presently the Deputy Principal of the school. There are close links between the hostel and the school. Three teachers on a rotation basis are responsible for supervising the afternoon programme at the hostel. House supervisors and assistants take direct care of learners in their specific units. During the night a surveillance system is in operation and an assistant alternates between the three units a regular basis to ensure that all goes well. Parents are encouraged to take their children home for weekends and only a limited number of learners may stay in the hostel every alternate weekend by pre-arranged agreement. There is a visiting hour every Wednesday evening, bar the first week of every term. A regular hostel menu approved by a dietician, is offered. Parents supply food for children that are on a special diet.
