Scope and content
Registered details of students admitted to Perth Modern School, including date of birth, full name, parents or guardians, place of residence, religion, course and date of entry. The front of the card also shows a basic academic summary and date of leaving the school. The reverse may include details of absences - ill, dentist, etc, and of achievements - School debating team, School captain etc. The cards were originally arranged in three sequences, probably by the registration number in the top right hand corner on the front of the card, but have been rearranged alphabetically into one sequence.
