Other routine work continued as usual throughout the year. Help was
given with fifth and sixth form school leavers' conferences at Purley Girls'
John Newnham and Riddlesdown Schools. These conferences were considered
to be very successful and worthwhile by both staff and pupils.
The topics most often requested from Youth Clubs were drug dependency,
family planning and sexually transmitted diseases.
