St. Joseph's Hostel Gitdubling

A impromptu concert in the school hall

They loved getting their photos taken


St Joseph's hostel provides accommodation for approximately 84 pupils who attend St. Joseph's Sch. Many of the pupils live a long distance from the school and can not travel daily.

The Hostel consists of two long dormitories with bunk beds on either side of the room. The bunk beds are about 2 feet apart and there is no furniture in the dormitories except for the beds.
Any spare clothing is kept on the bottom of their bed.

Toilets and personal washing facilities are apart from the sleeping accommodation. The kitchen and hall for eating in are also in a separate building.

The residents spend much of their time out of doors or in a class room studying. They get about 2 hours homework every night. They all have to do odd jobs around the property, eg. collecting wood for the cooking stove, preparing vegetables,washing clothes etc.

When they do have spare time they love to sing and dance and the boys play, basket ball, football and cricket. The girls look after the younger residents. This keeps them very busy.
