Hostel Facilities



The Hostel facilities are an attractive feature of 'GEMS'. These facilities are provided for students from classes I (one) - X (ten). The hostel department is divided into different distinct wings in accordance with their age and class. Senior girls, intermediate girls, junior girls, senior boys, intermediate boys and junior boys are housed in separate buildings which are also conveniently located and provided with all amenities for comfortable living. This system has been adopted to meet the physical and psychological needs of children of different age groups. Each wing of the hostel is managed by a qualified Hostel Incharge and he/ she is, in turn, assisted by more than a dozen highly trained, dedicated and efficient class four employees who work round the clock and ensure the safety and comfort of the children in their charge. Presently boarders from classes one to three are housed at rented buildings at Sanepa, while classes IV and above at boarding houses at Dhapakhel.


Dormitory
The dormitories are unique and worth inspecting. The children are provided with individual beds. Separate dormitories, dressing rooms, locker rooms, individual lockers, etc. and bathrooms are available for boys and girls separately. The ayahs sleep in the dormitories to carry out duties such as bathing the children, helping children to get dressed, accompanying smaller ones to the toilet, arranging beds and comforting children who get frightened at night. Except for those on duty, the dormitories are strictly out of bounds for all other members of the staff. Students of class I (one) to V (five) are cared for by Ayahs, but students of class VI (six) and above are themselves responsible for their belongings.


FOOD
Fresh and hot food is prepared under the guidance of Mess Manager, and served to the children under the strict supervision of the Hostel Manager, Hostel Wing In-charges, Matrons and teachers on duty. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes are served. Four meals (breakfast/ lunch/ tea and snacks/ dinner) are served every day. The staff on duty help the children in the proper use of napkins, spoons, forks and knives, and also teach table manners.

Entertainment
Children are provided with regular entertainment at school and outside as well. Boarders are taken out on excursions, trekking, camping, and also visits to places of interest such as the zoo, museum, etc. On Saturdays, feature films are shown at the different halls of different dormitories and various indoor activities like quiz, debates, talent show, and various other entertaining programmes, etc. are conducted in the evening to fully realize the potential of students, and each student equally given an opportunity.


Health Care
