Boarding
Section:
The unique feature of the Homes is perhaps the boarding
facilities. Children stay in cottages, which house 35-40
children. There are 7 girls cottages (Woodburn, Elliott,
Mansfield, Thorburn, Bene, Macgregor and Birissa), 9 boys
cottages (Calcutta, Assam, Heathland, Laidlaw, Scottish
Canadian, Grant, Hart, Wiston and Centenary), 2 cottage
for toddlers (Wales Lodge and Lucia King), 2 hostels for
boys from classes 11 and 12 (Fraser and Willingdon) and
2 guest houses for the OGB's and all those who require accommodation
while visiting the school or Kalimpong (Holiday Home and
Ahava). The cottages are scattered over the densely forested
hillside - each looked after by two houseparent. It is the
intention that the atmosphere in these cottages is 'homely'
as opposed to the impersonal dormitories one finds in most
boarding schools.
Meals:
The Central Kitchen Department (CK) looks after the nourishment
of nearly 900 individuals, four times a day! The school
dining room provides, healthy meals to the students and
staffs. The food committee (made up of senior students)
designs the menu according to their likes.
Hospital:
The school has a hospital "The Steele Memorial
Central" (SMC) to looks after the, medical needs of
the students while the Brenchley Memorial Dispensary does
the same for our service staff.
Unique Features: An interesting feature
of the Homes is that we have our own Workshop to maintain
the 70 buildings, a Clothing Department which supplies uniforms
and linen, a General Stores, a Bakery which supplies bread
and confectionery and a 25 acre farm which supplies milk,
butter, cheese, vegetables and poultry produce daily for
the children's requirements. The Estate Department looks
after the maintenance and security of the whole campus.
