NRS-23420 | Admission register [Kogarah Boys High School]

The purpose of an admission register was to record basic details about children admitted to the school and 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 volumes contain information pertaining to each student - date of admission; pupil's name; date of birth; religious denomination; name of previous school and date of leaving. The following details about the parents or guardians are recorded - 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 are also recorded.Admission registers in paper format ceased in 1999 when the department moved to recording enrolment details in electronic format.The register appears to commence prior to the opening of the High School and was presumably inherited from the Kogarah Intermediate Boys School, which provided high school education for boys prior to the opening of Kogarah Boys High School.
