Waiting List
There are 39 children on the waiting list, which grows week
by week. Although another school is being planned, I feel that
consideration must be urgently given for the provision of extra
places at St. Christopher's - even in temporary accommodation
until the new school is a reality.
Damage to Building through fire
The Autumn proved to be a frustrating one, due to makeshift
arrangements for accommodating the senior classes. A fire destroyed
the Art and Needlework rooms on August 12th during the
Summer holidays. Local C.I.D. officers suspected arson. I must
place on record the excellent work of the Schools Supplies and
Services Department and also Mr. J. Wilson, the School Caretaker
and his staff. All supplies and stores that were destroyed were
replaced immediately and the rebuilding and redecorating completed
by December 20th.
Parents' Association
The Parents' Association continues to flourish and to play a
vital part in the life of the School.
(a) January 23rd. Its members gave the pupils a New Year's Party,
consisting of tea, Punch and Judy Show, a conjurer, and
presents from Father Christmas.
We are also grateful to its members for providing the following
amenities:-
(b) a trolley for percussion band instruments
(c) a swing for the Reception Class;
(d) a fishpond;
(e) timber from which the Senior Boys constructed a Wendy House
for the Infants' Department.
