SCHOOL CLINIC.
Since January, 1929, the School Clinic was accommodated
temporarily at the Domestic Subjects Centre in Bonner
Hill Road.
The New Building in Grange Road to accommodate
the Offices of the School Medical Service, Elementary Education,
Clinics, and Open-Air School was completed, and
removal from the temporary quarters took place on May 4th.
The following is a brief description of the building:—
It is situated on a site facing Grange Road, with an
approximate frontage of 280 feet, and flanking on to
Knight's Park, with the Hoggs Mill Stream at the rear.
The front of the building faces north, so it was necessary
to design it to suit a long frontage, and also at the
same time to have most of the important rooms facing
south.
The difficulty was overcome by through-rooms on the
Ground floor with two Classrooms at the rear, and on the
first floor by a corridor and rooms at the back.
The accommodation on the Ground floor consists of a
large Dining Hall and Rest Room with Kitchen and Caretaker's
Quarters to the left of the Main Entrance, and on the
right, Teachers' Room, large Waiting Room, Minor Ailments
Room, Consulting Room, Dental Room, Dental Recovery
Room, and Lavatories for each sex, the exit from
the Clinic Rooms being so arranged that the children do
not have to return through the Waiting Room after having
been seen.
At the rear of the building there are two Open-Air
Classrooms, having glazed sliding windows and doors on
each side.
