NRS-20437 | Admission registers [Peter Board 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.

This volume contains information pertaining to each student including: date of admission; year entered; pupil's name; gender; date of birth; religious denomination; name of previous school; and date of leaving. Information about the child's mother, father or guardian is also recorded with details including names and status in relationship to the child. The pupil's date of leaving the school and their destination (school or occupation) upon leaving school is also recorded.

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

This series also contains admission registers from Ryde North High School, the previous name for Peter Board High School.
