NRS-23427 | Admission register [Sutton Forest Public 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 children through various classes and their date of leaving the school.Girls and boys are listed on opposite pages in order of admission in the 1971 to 1983 register, and listed together by date of enrolment in the 1973 to 1981 register for the Infants' Department. The volumes contain 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 or another school attended on leaving school is also recorded.Admission registers in paper format ceased in 1999 when the department moved to recording enrolment details in electronic format.
