SMYH caters for the needy and underprivileged students from the interior of Sabah (i.e. Paitan, Telupid, Beluran, Kunak, Lahad Datu, ect) and the objective of the hostel is to provide a home-like atmosphere with conducive learning environment and other facilities that enhance their personal growth, imparting moral such as sense of discipline and self-reliance, Tan said.

Our boarders attend to St Mary’s Secondary School and we accept students from Form 1 to 5 and priority is given to the needy ones. Some of our programmes are tuition classes to help boarders to cope with their studies, mentoring, sports, gardening and cooking, he added.
