| Mr. W. R. Wilson, M.A. (Hons). Senior Educational Psychologist reports as follows | |
| Senior Educational Psychologist.. | W. R. Wilson, M.A., A.B.Ps.S. |
| Educational Psychologist | Mrs. A. M. Williams, B.Sc. |
| Educational Psychologist | Mrs. J. H. Whitehouse, B.Sc. (from September 1st) |
| Specialist Teacher | Mrs. C. Newton, B.A. (Until August 31st) |
| Mrs. D. Schiller (From September 1st) | |
| Peripatetic Remedial Teacher | Mrs. M. Zurawski |
| Assessment Unit | Mrs. J. M. Whitmarsh |
| Chantry Unit (Class 6) | Mrs. Craig (until April 7th) |
| Mrs. D. E. Harper (from April 27th) | |
Mrs. Craig resigned as teacher of Class 6 having found that a fulltime
appointment was excessively demanding in view of her family
responsibilities. We were fortunate in being able to appoint Mrs. Harper
in time for her to take over from Mrs. Craig without a break, so that the
class continued without interruption.
In the same way, when Mrs. Newton resigned her appointment on
August 31st as she was leaving this area we were fortunate in being able
to appoint Mrs. Schiller from September 1st. This enabled the work with
phobic children to continue without a break. We were extremely sorry to
lose the services of Mrs. Newton. She began the group work with phobic
children at the Child Guidance Centre and was highly successful in
getting the majority of these children back to school.
