VPRS 21787 Class Lists

Full description

This series comprises printed lists or database printouts compiled into a file, documenting students who were enrolled in class at Kurunjang Primary School (School No. 5256) (VA 5476).

Each class list typically includes details such as the year or date, school name, home group, student name and registration number. Some lists may also include additional details such as gender and levels of academic achievement in areas such as reading, speaking and listening, writing, measurement, and numeracy.

From the 1980s, schools began transitioning to the Computerised Administrative System Environment in Schools (CASES) database, a centralised digital enrolment system maintained by the Education Department (VA 714) or its successors. Initially not widely used, the then Department of Education (VA 3098) introduced an updated CASES21, which became the mandatory system of record for financial information and reporting for all Victorian government schools from 2006. While CASES21 was also used for student and school administration processes, schools were permitted to utilise other third-party software to meet their needs in conjunction with the system. This system provided the means through which digital records capturing similar information could be created.

This series may include reports generated from the CASES (or CASES21) database, on a certain date by the school. The lists follow a standardised format and appear to be a printed report from a digital database, likely CASES or similar. The printed report has been kept where the original born digital record is unlikely to exist or is no longer accessible.
