Again the Head Teacher, Miss A. Thompson, and her
Assistants were able by their work to raise sufficient funds
to take a party of girls to Broadstairs for a week.
In all, 45 girls, 10 of whom paid all, and 5 part of,
their own expenses, proceeded to the St. Mary's Convalescent
Home, Broadstairs, on June 20th, but unfortunately
had to return on June 26th owing to one of the children
contracting scarlet fever.
This necessitated the exclusion of all the contacts from
attending school for 14 days after their return.
Fortunately, no case of scarlet fever developed among
the contacts.
