Owing to the risk of infection being carried to the School, the
School Medical Officer has prohibited boys from taking to the
School the usual toys and domestic literature which they have been
in the habit of taking. This supply of amusement is amply made
up for at the School.
There is a well-equipped Isolation block at the School, but
it has only been necessary to utilise this a few times during a
period of four years.
The School is staffed by:—
A Superintendent.
A Matron.
Three Assistant Teachers.
