4. Visit to Cardiff
Following a visit to Canterbury last year a party of pupils and Staff
visited Cardiff for a week-end in January. They took part in a Youth
Festival and contributed musical items to the programmes. The
children were billeted in private homes and spent a memorable weekend.
As a result a link has been established between this School and
Craig-y-Parc School for Spastics, Cardiff.
The same party has also given many concerts for Old People's
Associations in the Croydon Area.
5. The Parents Association has continued to meet and a full programme
of talks and discussions has been carried out.
On Wednesday, July 16th, the meeting discussed music for the handicapped
at School and in the home.and the children illustrated the
talk and later entertained the parents to a concert.
