CROWLAND ROAD SCHOOL.
This school consists of three departments, and is
thoroughly up-to-date in its construction and equipment.
There are cookery and manual training rooms, and a large
hall for school meals, with a small room leading out of it for
medical inspection. The hall is used for parents and children
to wait in when medical inspection takes place, and the
children are weighed and measured there.
St. IGNATIUS SCHOOL (Non-Provided).
This school, which originally accommodated 305 scholars
(mixed and infants), has been altered and enlarged by the
Managers in accordance with plans approved by the Board of
Education. The school now accommodates 465 scholars.
The enlargement was completed in August last.
HOLY TRINITY SCHOOL (Non-Provided).
Cloakrooms.—Two classes are taught in the main room,
which is unprovided with a partition. The removal of the
galleries is a great improvement.
