2. At the commencement of the Term an extra class of 16 children was
formed in the spare classroom at St. Luke's School, and is functioning
most satisfactorily. This is largely due to the teacher in charge, Miss O.
Davies, and Miss Rundle, who has made us so welcome in her school
The formation of this class has reduced the waiting list to 49, and to reduce
it eyen further the Education Committee have allocated a mobile
classroom to the school for January 1968.

(a) The Annual New Year Party was held on Saturday, January 21st.
This was arranged and financed by the Parents' Association, who provided
a Film Show, a Tea and a present for each child. I should like to thank
Mrs. D. Wheatland and her Committee for undertaking this task and making
the Party so successful.
(b) The Annual School Sports were held at the Barclay's Bank Sports
Ground, Norbury on Thursday July 13th.

Wednesday, July 5th. This year an evening session was held in addition
in order to encourage fathers to attend, and this proved most successful.
(d) The Harvest Festival was held on Thursday, October 5th. The
Service was conducted entirely by the senior pupils and a record number
of parents attended. As a result of the effort, over 80 parcels of food
stuffs were distributed by senior pupils to local old aged pensioners.

when the school hall was packed with parents and friends. The singing
was accompanied by the School Recorder Group and the programme included
