NRS-20137 | Register of Admissions [Chifley College, Shalvey Campus]

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 combined in the list. 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.

From January 1991, the lists are printouts of typed records pasted into the register.

Admission registers in paper format ceased in 1999 when the department moved to recording enrolment details in electronic format.
