NRS-16573 | Register of Admission, Progress and Withdrawal [Buchanan 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. Girls and boys are listed on opposite pages in order of admission, the entries being numbered consecutively in two distinct sequences. In the volume currently held of the present series the practice seems to have obtained for a considerable time of ruling a line through the entries of pupils who had completed their schooling or otherwise left the school.This volume contains information pertaining to each pupil including: date of admission, pupil's name, age, and religious denomination, and date of leaving previous school. 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 and date of leaving the school are also given; this last column is also used to record the school to which a pupil may have transferred.
