NRS-17414 | Register of Admission [Hurstville Public School]

Full description

Admission registers recorded basic details about children admitted to the school as well as  information about their parents or guardians.  The registers also record the progress of the children through various classes and the date of their leaving the school.  Early volumes show girls and boys are grouped together on the pages; later volumes the genders are not separated.

These volumes 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 earlier of these registers(1972 to 1983) covers only the infants school, with the two later volumes covering the primary school. 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. In early volumes, the following details are recorded about the child's parents or guardians: name, residence and occupation; later volumes record only the father's, mother's or guardian's name.

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