The registers were also used to record the progress of the children through various classes and the date of their leaving the school.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 are also recorded.The Minda school admission registers differ in the information they records. Between November 1967 to December 1971 and 1975 the admissions record does not record the name or addresses of the parents or guardians of the the student.
