NRS-16535 | Programme and Lesson Register [Booragul Public School]

Each teacher maintained a programme and lessons register for each class. The programme register covered an academic year in one volume. Each volume has an introductory page setting out the name of the school, the grade, the dates of the terms, the average age of the pupils, the name of the teacher and the date of assignment to the class. The volumes are sub-divided into terms. Within each term there is a four-page spread for English, and three-page spreads for Mathematics and Social Studies programmes to be entered, with single pages or part-pages for other subjects such as Scripture, Health and Physical Education, Natural Science, Music, and Arts and Crafts/Needlework. These pages are sub-divided into sections which the teacher completed, indicating briefly what was to be achieved in each week of term, e.g. the English spread is divided into Literature, Language and Expression, each of which is further subdivided into such topics as Reading, The Library, Poetry and Prose, Handwriting, Sentence Structure, Grammar, Spelling and Dictation, and Oral and Written Expression. A further double-page spread for Remarks is provided at the end of each term.
