NRS-17170 | Registers of Admission, Progress and Withdrawal [Sawyer's Gully 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.The two siving items in this series are probably the second and third of an original three. The earlier of these volumes was commenced between October, 1903 and December, 1904. It contains retrospective entries for enrolments current at that time (of which the earliest dates from August, 1896), and continued in use until the end of 1958. The later volume records enrolments from 1959 until the closure of the school in 1965.These volumes contain information pertaining to each pupil including: date of admission; pupil's name, date of birth and religious denomination; date of leaving previous school and class in that 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, date of leaving the school and the reason assigned for leaving are also recorded.Girls and boys are listed on opposite pages in order of admission. Entries in the earlier volume are numbered in two distinct sequences: 1-340 (boys) and 1-350 (girls), the current numbering of the pre-1904 entries evidently having been applied at the time of their transfer to this volume. Numbering of the entries in the later volume begins anew at the commencement of each school year, and the last two digits of the year-number are suffixed to each entry-number. In this volume boys’ and girls’ entries are numbered in a single, consolidated sequence.A Circular to Teachers, dated the 8th June, 1940, has been inserted inside the back cover of the volume.

本入学登记册的核心功能为记录入校学生及其父母或监护人的基础信息，同时亦可用于登记学生在各年级的就读进度与离校日期。本系列现存的两件档案大概率为原三套档案中的第二件与第三件。其中较早的一册编纂始于1903年10月至1904年12月期间，该册收录了彼时在籍学生的回溯登记信息（其中最早的记录可追溯至1896年8月），并持续使用至1958年末。较晚的一册则记录了1959年至1965年学校停办期间的所有入学登记信息。本两册档案包含每名学生的如下信息：入学日期、学生姓名、出生日期、宗教信仰、此前就读学校的离校日期及该学校的就读班级。此外还记录了学生父母或监护人的姓名、居住地址与职业。档案中同时记载了学生升入各后续年级的日期、离校日期及官方认定的离校原因。男生与女生的登记信息按入学顺序分别列于正反两页。较早册的登记条目采用两套独立编号序列：男生为1-340，女生为1-350。1904年之前的登记条目现用编号显然是在其被转入该册时追加编制的。较晚册的登记条目编号则在每个学年伊始重新启动，且每条编号后均附上学年份的后两位数字；该册中男生与女生的登记条目采用统一合并的编号序列。该册的封底内侧夹有一份日期为1940年6月8日的《致教师通告》。
