Description of this SeriesDescription of this Series
  • How to use the Records
    Records are arranged chronologically by date of the Education Department's response to a request by a teacher wanting to perform private work. Determine which volume you need, according to the approximate date of a request, then refer to the alphabetical index in the front of the volume to find the folio number of an individual.

  • Function / Content
    The Teachers Requesting Permission to Engage in Private Work books include lists of teachers who request, both successfully and unsuccessfully, the Education Department's permission to engage in private work. These volumes were created to document the responses to teachers' requests, and the nature of their proposed work, in the period 1885 - 1984.

    There are several features unique to Volume 1. It separates successful and unsuccessful applicants to the front and back respectively (later volumes list all the applicants together, with the result of their request in the remarks column). The back of the volume contains lists of teachers sorted by occupation, 1885 - 1935. It is also divided into three sections, in accordance with various changes over the period to the Public Service Act, as it affected teachers performing private work. The relevant sections of each Public Service Act have been inserted into the volume at the point where they take effect.

    Information captured varies from volume to volume but is largely the same. It may include:

    The name of the teacher
    Teacher's current position
    The school's name and number
    Reason leave requested / Nature of office (ie postmaster, give instruction on the pianoforte, private tuition, practice photography)
    Government Gazette (gives date of gazettal of permission to perform private work) / By whom sanctioned and authority (notes who granted permission and the correspondence number for VPRS 640 Central Inward Primary Schools Correspondence)

    This series was transferred from the Education History Unit of the Department of Education and Training.

  • Recordkeeping System
    The volume presents entries in chronological order by date of the Education Department's response to a request by a teacher to perform private work.
