A letter from the Director of Education was received this morning, saying that groups of children should be taught in private houses, till the schools could be opened, and inviting head-teachers to send in suggested schemes by the 25th Sep.
The following arrangements were made:
Each class is divided up into 5 groups (a.b.c.d.e.) by the class teacher.
A group consists of approximately 8 children, living as near together as can be arranged, and will meet at the home of one of them or at some other house in the immediate neighbourhood.
