NRS-17224 | Registers of Admission, Progress and Withdrawal [The Junction Public School]

The purpose of an admission register was to record basic details about children admitted to the school, and about 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 series contains information pertaining to each pupil including: date of admission; pupil's name, date of birth and religious denomination; name of previous school and date of leaving. The following details are recorded about the child's parents or guardians: name, residence and occupation. The pupil's date of admission to each subsequent grade and date of leaving the school are also recorded. Provision is made to record any occupation entered into by the pupil on leaving school, but with the passage of time this column comes more and more to be used to indicate the school to which a pupil may have transferred.The surviving volumes of the series contain girls’ enrolments from 1914 and boys’ enrolments from 1921. These volumes record admissions until the end of 1962, and the further progress of these pupils until the end of 1965. Girls’ and boys’ enrolments are recorded in separate volumes, reflecting the division of the school into distinct boys’ and girls’ departments during the period which these volumes cover. Entries prior to mid-1927 in the earliest surviving boys’ register have all been transcribed from a previous volume, whose whereabouts is now unknown, and consist only of those enrolments which were still current at the beginning of 1927.Girls’ enrolments from 1914 to the end of 1932 are numbered in a single sequence, whereafter a new numbering system is adopted; the numbering begins anew at the commencement of each school year, and the last two digits of the year-number are added to the entry-number as a suffix. The earliest legible entry-number in the earliest surviving boys’ admission register is “333,” in January, 1921; this is comparable to the entry-numbers appearing at this point in the girls’ volumes, and it therefore seems likely that the numbering in use at this point for boys’ enrolments was commenced at the same time as the contemporary numbering of girls’ enrolments, viz., in 1914. Entries in the boys’ registers to the beginning of 1940 are numbered in one sequence ; at this point the numbering begins again, and entries from here to the end of 1948 are numbered in a single sequence. Thenceforth, the system already in use for the girls’ component of this series is employed in the boys’ volumes also.Admission registers in paper format ceased in 1999 when the department moved to recording enrolment details in electronic format.

入学登记册（admission register）的核心用途为记录入校学生及其父母或监护人的基础信息。该类登记册同时用于记录学生在各年级的就读进度，以及离校日期。
本数据集系列涵盖每名学生的如下信息：入学日期、学生姓名、出生日期、宗教教派、此前就读学校名称及离校日期。
同时记录学生父母或监护人的以下信息：姓名、居住地址及职业。
此外还会登记学生升入各后续年级的日期，以及最终离校日期。
该登记册设有栏位用于记录学生毕业后的就职职业，但随着时间推移，该栏位逐渐被用于标注学生可能转入的就读学校。
本系列现存的档案卷册中，1914年起收录女生入学登记信息，1921年起新增男生入学登记信息。
此类卷册会登记学生的入学信息直至1962年末，并追踪记录这些学生的后续就读进度至1965年末。
男、女生的入学登记信息分别收录于不同卷册中，这一编排方式契合该档案覆盖时段内该校分为独立男、女生学部的办学格局。
现存最早的男生入学登记册中，1927年中期之前的登记条目均转录自某一现已下落不明的早期卷册，且仅包含1927年初仍在籍的学生入学信息。
1914年至1932年末的女生入学登记信息采用单一编号序列，此后改用全新的编号体系：每学年伊始重新编号，并将学年编号的后两位作为后缀添加至条目编号之后。
现存最早的男生入学登记册中，1921年1月的最早可辨认条目编号为"333"；该编号与同期女生卷册中的条目编号水平相当，由此推测当时男生入学登记所使用的编号体系与1914年启用的女生编号体系同步启动，即1914年。
1940年初之前的男生登记册条目采用单一编号序列；1940年起重新开始编号，直至1948年末的条目均采用该新序列。此后，男生卷册开始沿用本系列中女生登记册所采用的编号体系。
1999年，该部门转而采用电子格式登记学生入学信息，纸质入学登记册自此停用。
