NRS-16921 | Registers of Admission, Progress and Withdrawal [Lochinvar 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.The series from Lochinvar Public School is represented by a single volume, commenced in 1899, in which are recorded enrolments current during that year (some dating from as early as 1892), and subsequent admissions until 1949. This volume contains information pertaining to each pupil including: date of admission; pupil's name, date of birth, religious denomination, date of leaving previous school and class in previous school. 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, date of leaving the school and reason assigned for leaving are also recorded.Girls and boys are listed on opposite pages in order of admission, and numbered sequentially from the beginning of the volume, with separate numbering of boys’ and girls’ entries. Entries dated prior to September, 1899 have been transferred from a previous volume, and their former numbering from that volume has been entered in the margins.Admission registers in paper format ceased in 1999 when the department moved to recording enrolment details in electronic format.
