VPRS 9864 Minute Book (Board of Advice No.281 1891-1910; Templestowe School Committee 1911-1924)

Full description

This series comprises a single volume which contains the minutes of meetings held by Board of Advice No.281 and the Templestowe School Committee. Board of Advice No.281 pertained to an area which included the Templestowe (No.1395) and Andersons Creek (No.12) primary schools. This Board like all others was abolished by the Education Act of 1910 and replaced by School Committees established for each individual school. From 1911 the volume was used to record the minutes of meetings of the School Committee for the Templestowe school.

Matters discussed relate to the duties of the Board as set out in Section 15 the Education Act 1872. These included responsibility for determining and reporting on the use of school buildings on non school days/hours, the condition of the school buildings and premises, school requirements and attendance of local children at the schools.

Templestowe school committee/council minutes for the years 1931- 1993 are to be found in VPRS 9418/P1 School Records. The existence of minutes for the years 1925-1930 is unknown.
