NRS-20330 | Class Roll [Newcastle Boys' High School]

The Class Roll Books were required to be kept under Regulations in accordance with the Public Schools Act of 1866, issued on 27 February 1867, s. 17. They give a day-by-day record of each pupil’s attendance at school.The format of the Roll Books remains consistent over time. The volumes are designed to allow for each double-page opening to constitute the record for one class during one quarter of the year. Pages are divided vertically into columns, which are organised in groups of five, representing school weeks of five days each. Each column is headed with the date (day and month), and the attendance of each pupil is recorded in that column against the pupil’s name. Rolls were normally called twice daily, morning and afternoon, and one bar of a cross was entered for each pupil present, so that a complete cross (X) against a pupil’s name indicates that they were present all day, while a single stroke (/) indicates their presence only for a morning or afternoon. In addition to their attendance record, the information recorded about each pupil includes their name and number in the admission register, their age, class at last inspection, and religious denomination, the fees due for them and fees in arrears, and their total attendance in each quarter.Normally each opening is used for a single class, as the basic format of the volumes provides, or separate openings are used for the girls or boys of each class. Individual volumes, however, may be used to record the attendance in either one class or several. .This series is represented by two surviving volumes. The first is for the year 1912 to 1913. Boys and Girls are recorded on seperate pages recording the grades one through to four. The volume is quite fragile and has been rebound.The second volume is only for the last quarter of 1928 (Oct- Dec). Boys and Girls are also recorded on seperate pages, recording the grades three through to five. This volume is in good original condtion.

班级考勤登记簿（Class Roll Books）需遵照1867年2月27日发布的《1866年公立学校法案》第17条相关规定进行留存归档。该登记簿逐日记录每位在校学生的出勤情况。该类登记簿的格式长期保持统一。本册的版式设计为，每一对开页对应一个班级在一个季度内的出勤记录。页面纵向划分为若干列，每五列为一组，对应每周五个教学日。每列顶部标注日期（日月），学生姓名旁的对应列中记录其出勤情况。校方通常每日进行两次考勤点名（上午、下午），出勤学生以单杠标记，因此学生姓名旁完整的叉号（X）代表其全日出勤，单斜杠（/）则代表仅上午或下午到校。除出勤记录外，登记簿还会记录每位学生的以下信息：入学登记册中的姓名与编号、年龄、末次督导检查时所在班级、宗教教派、应缴学费、欠费金额，以及各季度的总出勤情况。按照本册的基础版式，通常每一对开页对应单个班级，或为同班级的男、女生分别使用不同对开页。但单本册子既可用于记录单个班级的出勤情况，也可用于多个班级。该系列现存两册考勤登记簿。第一册涵盖1912至1913学年，男、女生出勤记录分别单独分页，涵盖一年级至四年级。该册保存状况较差，已进行过重新装订。第二册仅涵盖1928年第四季度（10月至12月），男、女生出勤记录同样单独分页，涵盖三年级至五年级。该册保存状况良好，为原装帧。
