Although control of St Andrew's Hostel, Esperance was handed over from the Anglican Diocese of Perth to the Country High School Hostels Authority (CHSHA) in 1975, from 1976 the Anglican Archdeacon of the Country was Chairman of the Board.
St Andrew's Hostel, Esperance was mentioned in the Special Inquiry into St Andrew's Hostel, Katanning as one of the hostels under the control of the CHSHA.
In 1977, the Hostel's Chairman, Archdeacon (later, Bishop) Michael Challen, reported that there had been allegations 'that the presence of the Matron in the boys' showers was not appreciated' by parents, some of whom had withdrawn their children from the hostel.
Former students were eligible to apply for Redress WA in 2008 and the Country High School Hostels Ex Gratia Scheme in 2013.
