NRS-16479 | Register of admission, progress and withdrawal [Allynbrook Public School]

Full description

The purpose of an admission register was to record basic details about children admitted to the school and their parents or guardians. The registers were also used to record the progress of the children through various classes and the date of their leaving the school.

Girls and boys are listed on opposite pages in order of admission. This volume contains information pertaining to each student, including date of admission, pupil's name, date of birth, religious denomination, name of previous school and date of leaving. The following details are recorded about the child's parents or guardians: name, residence and occupation. The pupil's date of admission to each subsequent grade, date of leaving the school and any occupation entered into on leaving school is also recorded. All entries of the one sex are assigned a sequential number; until 1967 these sequences are continuous, but from 1968 a new sequence for each sex is begun each year.

The final page of entries in this volume concludes with the note 'School closed 16/12/71'.
