NRS-18982 | Register of Admission, Class Roll [Black Hill Public 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.

班级点名册（Class Roll Books）需依据1867年2月27日发布的1866年《公立学校法案》第17条的相关规定依规留存。其完整记录了每名学生在校的每日出勤情况，且格式长期保持统一。册本的设计初衷为，每一对开页可对应一个班级在一年中一个季度的出勤记录。页面以纵向划分为若干列，每5列为一组，对应每周5个教学日；每列顶部标注日期（日和月），学生姓名旁的对应列内将记录其出勤情况。
点名通常每日进行两次，分别为上午和下午，每名出勤的学生将被标记一道横杠。因此，学生姓名旁的完整叉号（X）代表其全天出勤，单横杠（/）则代表仅上午或下午到校。除出勤记录外，每名学生的登记信息还包括入学登记册中的姓名与编号、年龄、上次督导检查时所在班级、宗教教派、应缴费用、欠费金额，以及各季度的总出勤情况。
按照册本的基础格式设计，通常每一对开页对应一个班级，或为同班级的男、女生分别使用单独的对开页；但单册册本既可用于记录单个班级的出勤情况，也可用于记录多个班级的出勤情况。
