NRS-17281 | Programme and Lesson Registers [Singleton Public School]

Each teacher maintained a programme and lessons register for their class. The programme register covered an academic year. There is an introductory page setting out the name of the school, the grade, the dates of the terms, the average age of the pupils, the name of the teacher and the date of assignment to the class. The volumes are sub-divided into terms. At the end of each term is an unstructured page headed “Remarks.” The programme is otherwise set out in pre-printed pages. At the left-hand edge of each verso page is a column marked with week numbers. There are normally three-page spreads for each term’s English, Mathematics and Social Studies programmes, and half- to one-page spreads for other subjects. With slight variations from year to year, the weekly programme is set out under the following subjects: English, Mathematics, Natural Science (or Nature Study), Social Studies (which may include Scripture), Music, Art and Handicrafts/Needlework (or Handwork), and possibly also Health Education, Physical Education, and Developmental and Creative Activities. The teacher completed lessons on all of these topics in the course of each week.The series is currently represented by a single volume, which records the programme of teaching for the school’s 6A class in 1955. In this volume it is noteworthy that the fifth, sixth and seventh weeks of the First Term are marked “Flood Damage” and “No School,” and the eighth week takes up the lessons originally set down for the fifth week.Custody History This volume was received along with a quantity of records from Wallsend Public School. This is explicable by the circumstance that the teacher who took the 6A class at Singleton in 1955 became the Principal at Wallsend in 1958.

每位教师均需为其所带班级维护教学计划与课程登记册。该登记册覆盖一整个学年，册首设有简介页，载明学校名称、年级、学期日期、学生平均年龄、教师姓名以及该教师分配至该班级的日期。各卷册按学期进行细分，每学期末尾设有一页无固定格式的"备注"页，其余教学计划均印制于预先排版的页面中。每一张左侧书页（verso page）的左侧边缘均设有标注周次的栏位。通常情况下，每学期的英语、数学与社会研究教学计划会占用三页跨页版面，其他科目则占用半页至一页的跨页版面。尽管各学年存在细微差异，每周教学计划均按以下科目排布：英语、数学、自然科学（或自然研究）、社会研究（可包含宗教经文课程）、音乐、美术与手工/针线劳作（或手工劳作），此外还可能涵盖健康教育、体育以及发展与创意活动。教师需在每周内完成上述所有科目的授课。

目前该系列仅存一卷，该卷记录了该校1955年6A班的教学计划。值得注意的是，该卷中第一学期的第5、6、7周均标注为"洪灾损毁，停课"，第8周则顺延执行原计划于第5周开展的授课内容。

保管历史：该卷与沃尔斯登公立学校（Wallsend Public School）的一批档案一同被接收。这一情况可通过以下背景解释：1955年于辛格尔顿（Singleton）担任6A班任课教师的人员，于1958年升任沃尔斯登公立学校校长。
