School Accommodation Lack ‘Frustrating’
The static state of any plans for increased accommodation at Burnside High School was proving frustrating, the headmaster (Mr C. Cross) reported to a meeting of the board of governors last evening, Failure to get more suitable library accommodation, or adequate staff-room work space was likely to inhibit progress in the work of the school, he said. With the growth of senior art classes, there was a definite need for more space in the art room, and clay modelling work would be in abeyance until more room was available. The parent-teacher association was pursuing vigorous plans to raise funds for the gymnasium as quickly as possible. Mr Cross said the assembly hall was packed, with children being pushed out into the vestibule, and this was not good for the school. “I do want you to know it is very frustrating and irritating for the school, and I am sure it is not good for the school,” he said.
Eleven evening classes were being conducted this year. They included dressmaking, millinery, metal work, woodwork, typewriting and art.
