ST. LUKE' S PARTIALLY SIGHTED SCHOOL
I am indebted to Miss J. Rundle, the Teacher-in-charge, for
the following observations: -
During 1957 steady progress was achieved in all branches of
our school work.
In September Miss E. R. Conboy was appointed to take charge
of the Senior group and we hope that she will be very happy In
her work at St. Luke's.
The health of the children throughout the year was very good
and the attendance did not fall greatly in spite of the epidemic
of Asian Influenza. We are pleased to report that on three
occasions we had 100% attendance for the week.
The senior girls now attend Ecclesbourne School for Domestic
Science and we are grateful to Miss Jones for her Interest in our
children. The boys continued under Mr. Maddox of Norbury Manor
School for Woodwork instruction and we appreciate his continued
Interest.
The highlight of the year was a visit by the Senior Group to
the Royal Festival Hall to hear the lecture given by The Duke of
Edinburgh on his Commonwealth Tour. This excursion was greatly
enjoyed, and much was gained from the Lecture.
We were very pleased to have Councillor Mrs. Maycock with us
on Open Day also many parents and friends.
During the year we welcomed Mr. Moody, H.M.I, and many other
visitors from Home and Overseas.
Three children were transferred to Schools for the Blind and
one boy was transferred to the Technical College where he is not
taking a G. C.E. Course.
The number on roll was 20 on December 31st last.
The year closed with a Carol service at which we welcomed the
presence of several friends.
