During the year the premises have been improved by reconditioning
and additional building. A kitchen has been made from part of the
former dinner hut. This new kitchen has been well equipped and contains
twin gas cookers, twin sinks and a steaming oven.
A well-proportioned hall has been built in which the pupils now
have their mid-day meal and also some of their physical training lessons.
The hall is connected with the new kitchen by a door and a hatchway.
The larger part of the former dining hut has been converted into a
manual workroom and contains benches of modern type. The lighting
is excellent.
A covered way has been made to connect the classrooms with the
line of buildings at the end of the playgrounds.
Hot water is now provided in the cloakrooms, which adds to the
comfort of the pupils and staff.
