ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this fifth day of July, 1887.
Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.
IN exercise and pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in the Governor in Council by “The Education Act, 1877,” all regulations heretofore made by Order in Council under the authority of the said Act are hereby cancelled, and the following regulations are hereby made in lieu thereof, and shall come into force on the date of this order:—
I.—ATTENDANCE-REGISTERS AND RETURNS.
-
The head-teacher of each school shall keep a register of attendance in a form which shall be furnished by the Minister of Education; and all the teachers in the school shall assist in making up weekly and quarterly summaries of attendance.
-
The attendance of the scholars in each school shall be registered every morning and every afternoon at a convenient time within the school hours.
-
The attendance of a child at morning school shall be reckoned as one attendance, and the attendance of a child at afternoon school shall be reckoned as one attendance, and a school open in the morning and open in the afternoon shall be deemed to have been open twice. The school shall be held to be open any morning or afternoon if one child be present before the first half-hour of the ordinary school time has passed. The average daily attendance for any period shall be ascertained by dividing the total number of attendances for the period by the number of half-days on which the school has been open during the period. The average daily attendance so ascertained shall be known as the strict average. But, in order that the capitation allowance may not be unduly affected by bad weather, epidemics, or any unusual occurrence, a second computation shall be made by throwing out of account every morning and every afternoon on which the attendances have numbered less than one-half of the number of pupils belonging to the school, and by throwing out of account the attendances also of every such morning and every such afternoon; and the capitation payments to Boards under “The Education Act, 1877,” shall be made according to the average daily attendance as ascertained by this second computation, which average daily attendance shall be known as the working average.
