NRS-16957 | Register of Admission, Progress and Withdrawal [Minimbah 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.This volume contains information pertaining to each pupil 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; this last column is also regularly used to indicate the school to which a pupil may have been transferred. Girls and boys are listed on opposite pages in order of admission. These entries are numbered continuously (boys’ and girls’ entries in two separate sequences) from the beginning of the volume until the end of 1960. Thereafter the numbering of entries begins anew from “1” at the beginning of each new school year, and the last two digits of the year number are suffixed to each entry number.
