NRS-18976 | Register of admission [Pearces Creek Public School]

The purpose of an admission register was to record basic details about children admitted to the school and their parents or guardians. The registers were also used to record the progress of children through various classes and their date of leaving the school.  Girls and boys are listed on opposite pages in order of admission. 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 in the earlier registers about the child’s parents or guardians: name, residence and occupation.  Later registers record only mother's, father's, or guardians' names.  The pupil’s date of admission to each subsequent grade, date of leaving the school and any occupation entered into or another school attended on leaving school is also recorded.Formal admission registers in paper format ceased in approximately 1995 when transfer to the Office Administration System in Schools (OASIS) commenced, however, some schools continued to refer to paper printouts or maintain paper registers.
