C.W.A Girls' Hostel, Bunbury

Details

The C.W.A. Girls’ Hostel was established by the Country Women’s Association in 1952 in Haig Crescent, Bunbury. It was also known as Heath House.

The Holstel provided accommodation for girls attending Bunbury High School, replacing the Mary Clementina Hostel for Girls. Initially the hostel only had accommodation for 12 girls. In 1958, major renovations including a dining hall, kitchen, storeroom and more rooms saw the number of residents increase to 42.

It is likely that the girls hostel merged with Craig House, the C.W.A Boys Hostel in Bunbury, in 1965 when the boys hostel also began accepting girls, however this has not yet been confirmed.
