NRS-16507 | Register of Admission, Progress and Withdrawal [Baerami Creek Public School]

Full description

The purpose of an admission register was to record basic details about children admitted to the school, and about 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. Until 1948 each entry receives a consecutive number in a continuing sequence, with different sequences for boys and girls. In 1948 all current pupils were re-enrolled, and thereafter new sequences for boys and girls are commenced with each new school year until 1956. From that year boys and girls are consolidated into one numerical sequence which begins anew each year.

This volume contains information pertaining to each pupil 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 are also recorded; this last column is also used to record the schools to which pupils may have transferred.
