St. Paul's Girls' School.
A party of about 30 girls visited Swanage. One of the scholars,
unfortunately, contracted chicken pox soon after her arrival. Consultation
between Dr. Kirkhope and the local Medical Officer of Health resulted in
the decision to send home some of the girls who had been in contact with
the patient. Subsequent events showed the wisdom of the decision.
The remainder of the party carried out a programme very similar to
that of the Risley Avenue party.
This school has organised a series of very successful school journeys,
and it was regrettable that misfortune should have marred this visit.
The Committee contributed £35 toward the cost of the journey.
2. OPEN-AIR SCHOOLS.
The Open-Air Class was again held in the bandstand in Downhills
Park. It was attended by about 30 girls from West Green School, who
were selected by the Medical Officers as needing Open-Air treatment.
The inclement weather caused the duration of the Class to be somewhat
shortened, but the Medical Officers report that the girls who had attended
gained considerable physical benefit.
The Local Authority are considering an extension of Open-Air Classes
during 1925.
3. PLAYGROUND CLASSES.
Classes were held in playground shelters in Page Green (Girls' and
Infants'), Stamford Hill (Infants') and other schools throughout the
Summer and Autumn.
4. PHYSICAL EXERCISES.
Physical Exercises have continued to be a prominent feature of the
work of Tottenham Schools.
