The staff and pupils quickly settled down in the new school and
a good relationship has been established between the Headmaster,
Mr. C. Thomas and the School Health Staff. Routine medical and
dental inspections of all the children were carried out during the first
term and Dr. J. J. Duffy, School Medical Officer, visits the school
regularly to deal with any medical problems which may arise.
Regular weekly visits have also been made by the Speech Therapist,
Miss P. A. Older.
