I am indebted to Miss Cooney, Supervisor of the Occupation Centre, for
the following report:—
" The Occupation Centre is divided into Classes, according to age and
ability. Handwork, P.T., Music and Movement, Hygiene and Household
Training form the most important part of the daily routine.
In March, the Centre moved to larger premises and it was unfortunate
that Miss Hensher was obliged to go into hospital for a long rest.
In June, the Parents' Association gave the children a day's outing to
Sudbury Court.
In July, Mrs. Warner, untrained assistant, attended a week's refresher
course for staffs of Centres.
Dr. Lilly, Commissioner, Board of Control, paid a routine visit in
October.
Twenty-nine students from various areas visited the Centre.
The Sale of Work was held in November.
In December, the children had their Christmas Party. Dr. Wright
kindly distributed the presents from the tree. As we now have a large hall
it was possible to extend the time limit and the children stayed on till 5 p.m.,
finishing up with games and a sing-song."
