NRS-17060 | Register of admission [Maroubra Bay High 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.

Admission registers in paper format ceased in approximately 1995 when transfer to the Office Administration System in Schools (OASIS) commenced.
