NRS-16491 | Register of Admission, Progress and Withdrawal [Ardglen 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.Girls and boys are listed on opposite pages in order of admission. This volume contains information pertaining to each student including: date of admission; pupil's name; date of birth; 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, date of leaving the school and any occupation entered into on leaving school is also recorded; this last column is also used to record the school (or at least the town) to which a pupil may have transferred.Pupils are assigned sequential running numbers in the order of their admission to the school, with separate sequences for girls and boys. The boys’ sequence in the volume held begins with the number 125, and the girls’ with number 114. This volume, therefore, is evidently the second (and last) in the series.
