2 Bonner Hill Road Central School for Girls.
A school journey to Hastings was undertaken by 40
pupils of Bonner Hill Road Central School for Girls from
1st to 15th June, 1934, in order to study the formation of
the Weald, the changed coastline, the Cinque Ports, the
Sussex iron industry and the chief styles of architecture of
a castle. A great deal of work in art was undertaken, and
the educational value of this visit has been widely recognised.
PHYSICAL TRAINING.
The Board of Education Syllabus of physical training
is followed in the schools. This is carried out as much as
possible in the open air.
The School Medical Officer advises as to children who
are not suitable for physical training.
Organised games are held during school terms in the
various recreation grounds throughout the area.
There is no Area Organiser for the Borough.
PROVISION OF MILK.
The scheme of the Milk Marketing Board for the supply
of milk in Schools on the same lines as hitherto followed
by the National Milk Publicity Council, but the price of
milk to be ½d. instead of ld. per third of a pint, came into
operation on October 1st, 1934.
The source and quality of the milk which is drawn from
an efficiently pasteurised supply, was approved by the
Medical Officer of Health.
It was ascertained that some 700 children or about 20%
of those in attendance were in receipt of school milk prior
to October 1st, 1934, when there was an immediate rise to
68% upon the scheme for cheaper milk coming into operation.
