VPRS 9860 Outward Letter Book (Board of Advice No.316)

Full description

This series comprises a volume which contains letter press copies of correspondence sent by Board of Advice No 316. This particular Board pertained to a school district which included the Box Creek (later known as Leitchville) (No. 2087) and Lake Charm (No. 2122) Primary Schools.

The subject matter of these letters varies, but the correspondence chiefly relates to the exercise of the Boards powers under Section 15 the Education Act 1872. These powers included responsibility for determining and reporting on the use of school buildings on non school days/hours, the condition of school buildings and premises, school requirements and attendance of local children at the schools. Most of the letters were sent to the Education Department; all were signed by the Board Correspondent.

The existence of volumes pre or post dating the records in custody is unknown.
