Historical information

The C.W.A. Girls’ Hostel (also known as Heath House) was established by the Country Women’s Association in 1952 in Haig Crescent, Bunbury on a small hill across from the high school. The hostel provided accommodation for girls attending Bunbury High School, replacing the Mary Clementina Hostel for Girls.

In 1952 the hostel had accommodation for 12 girls. In 1958 this number increased to 42 following major renovations which included more rooms, a dining hall, kitchen, storeroom and toilets.
