Schools' Sports Association.
(a) Athletics.—The Bromley Schools' Athletic Association
has been suspended and its members have joined with
Beckenham and Penge to form the West Kent Athletic
Association.
(b) Games.—The schools maintained the Leagues for
Secondary Cricket, Secondary Soccer, Junior Cricket and
Junior Soccer. Inter-school hockey matches were played
on a freindly basis. It is hoped that swimming and
tennis will soon provide further inter-school competition.
Recreative Evening Classes and Outdoor Activities in connection
with Youth Work have been a feature of the programme for
the Your Service.
Priority is given to all registered Youth Clubs in connection
with the letting of Football Pitches, Tennis Courts, Netball
Courts, and the use of facilities for indoor Physical Recreation.
Conclusion.—A full education must include the deliberate
training of the child's mental, emotional and physical abilities.
It is pleasing to note that considerable progress is being made,
and that a wide physical education programme, consisting of
gymnastics, athletics, dancing, games and swimming now provides
the child with many opportunities to develop a well
co-ordinated, versatile and healthy body.
We would like to acknowledge indebtedness to the Borough
Education Officer and his staff for continued support, and to the
Head and Assistant Teachers for their loyal co-operation."
