NRS-16853 | Register of Admission, Progress and Withdrawal [Jerry's Plains 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. These volumes contain 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, date of leaving the school, and, where known, the name of any school to which they may have transferred, or any occupation entered into on leaving school, are also recorded.Admission registers in paper format ceased in 1999 when the department moved to recording enrolment details in electronic format.Pupils are listed in order of admission. In the volume currently held, girls and boys are listed on opposite pages until 1949, after which they begin to be listed in alternating double-page openings. Entries are numbered sequentially from the beginning of the volume, girls and boys being in independent sequences, with the numbering in each sequence being continuous from year to year until the beginning of 1961, and thereafter beginning anew at the start of each school year.

入学登记册（admission register）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，同时亦可用于记录学生在各年级的就读进度与离校日期。本系列登记卷册收录了每名学生的相关信息，具体包括：入学日期、学生姓名、年龄、宗教教派，以及此前就读学校的离校日期。关于学生的父母或监护人，登记册会记录以下信息：姓名、居住地与职业。此外，登记册还会记录学生升入各后续年级的入学日期、离校日期；若有可查信息，还会记录其转学后的就读学校名称，以及离校后从事的职业。
纸质版入学登记册于1999年停止使用，彼时该部门已转而采用电子形式记录入学注册详情。学生按入学顺序排列。在当前留存的该卷册中，1949年以前男女学生分别排布在正反两页；1949年起，改为交替采用双页跨页的排版格式。
登记条目从卷册起始处开始按顺序编号，男女学生各自使用独立的编号序列：1961年年初之前，两个序列的编号均逐年连续递增；1961年之后，则于每个学年伊始重新开始编号。
