NRS-16888 | Registers of Admission, Progress and Withdrawal [Kar's Springs 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 series contains information pertaining to each pupil, including date of admission; pupil's name, date of birth and 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 may also be used to indicate the school to which a pupil may have transferred.The volume was commenced, on the first double-page opening, in 1928, but between the 10th of July and the 29th of October in that year the record was re-commenced in the following opening, and this time eighteen entries referring to earlier enrolments still current at that time were transferred from the previous volume of the series. The earliest such entry dates from 1921. Girls and boys are listed on opposite pages in order of admission, and numbered sequentially (initially in two separate sequences); this numbering continues that in the previous volume of the series.
