Britto Hostel

Britto Hostel was started in 1943. A boarding with 20 Hindu boys and a hostel for 80 Christian boys were started in the following year on June 13th. They were named Britto Hostel and Loyola Hostel respectively. With a view of creating unity among the boys, both the Hostels were amalgamated in 1989. The strength gradually increased and the present strength is 1030. Britto Junior Hostel for 6-8 boys was constructed in 2013 at a cost of rupees 1 crore. More than 27 Jesuit priests have acted as Hostel Directors. Special efforts are taken both in academic and non academic levels. Most of the school sportsmen are from the Hostel. Remarkable Alumni of this prestigious Hostel are Shri.Justice Murugesan, Shri.Malaisamy, Shri.Tamilkudimagan and so on.
