NRS-16516 | Register of Admission, Progress and Withdrawal [Big 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. 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.

The volume has been initialled periodically to indicate that it has been viewed by the Inspector on his regular visits to the school.
