NRS-20747 | Examination Books [Balmoral Beach Infants School]

The School Examination Book records the twice-yearly testing of pupils. Each volume of the Examination Book contains copies of examination papers, normally pasted in but occasionally handwritten, with a record of the marks achieved by individual pupils in each subject, their overall results, and, if deemed appropriate, the teacher’s comments. The pre-printed format of the volumes provides for results to be recorded in Reading, Writing, Spelling, Composition, and Arithmetic and for the results of the June and November examinations to be recorded alongside each other. Boys and girls results are noted on separate pages and it appears that the genders were examined on different topics.  Each volume was used to record the performance of pupils in the same grade during successive years.
