School Records

In the mid 1990s the Society decided to record all school admission registers for the Richmond-Tweed area. With the permission of the Department of Education copies of some schools admission registers were obtained and the work of recording them began. The registers of over 50 schools (some 45,000 records) have been completed. All information from the Admission Registers has been entered into an Excel spreadsheet and a master list of the 51 schools is available to search at the Marie Hart Library. A printed copy is also available on our library shelves.

The registers, both printed and on the computer, are listed alphabetically by Student Name, and contain Student Name, Date of Birth/Age at Admission, Admission Date, Previous School, Parent/Guardian Name and Address, Occupation and Religion.

Please direct any enquiries concerning these records to the Society via email: secretaryrtfhs1@yahoo.com
