Gala, in July, and School Swimming Galas were arranged by twenty
departments.
Playing Field or Recreation Ground accommodation is now
available for all Central and Senior departments with the exception
of three and it is anticipated that the necessary grounds will be
found for these early in 1937—also for five of the twelve Junior
Schools not yet sending classes to a field for Organised Games.
The opportunities for practice in Athletics afforded by this
accommodation has facilitated the holding of School Sports Afternoons
and thirty-three schools arranged for such an afternoon as
well as taking part in the Inter-School Sports Afternoons on the
29th and 30th June.
Only in six schools is the teaching of National and Folk
Dancing omitted from the curriculum and this, as stated last year,
is largely due to the lack of suitable facilities.
School Journeys to Llanfairfechan, Broadstairs, Shanklin,
Seaford (2), Ewhurst, Ryde, Folkestone, Worthing, Rhyl,
Germany and Paris were taken by girls from various schools and
Pilgrim Fort was used for camping holidays by four Girls' Schools.
The following Courses and Demonstrations for Teachers were
arranged:—
Scottish Country Dancing. 2 Courses.
Three Demonstrations of Class Teaching of Swimming.
Physical Training suitable for girls 10-12 years of age.
Organised Games for Junior Schools.
