School Gardens.—Three school gardens and four borders have
been provided.
Boundaries and Fences.—Brick division walls have been removed
to improve light and air conditions at two schools.
Hostilities.—By reason of the outbreak of war and the evacuation
of children, ordinary school activities ceased and many of the
buildings have been appropriated for various A.R.P. and other
services.
Previous to hostilities, Pretoria Avenue Boys' and Girls'
Schools had been entirely handed over to the Borough Council
and are being used as A.R.P. and Canteen Stores.
Due to the partial re-opening of schools, works of protection
against air raids have been provided at a number of schools.
