These records are held by Tasmanian Archives (2011 - current).
The Record Books for Dora Turner School date from 1924 to 1990. They contain the names of girls with their grades in reading, writing, dictation, composition, and arithmetic. Occasionally it gives IQs. At times it notes absences, for instance because the girl was ill or at the Sunshine Home. Some girls from the Industrial School for Girls – Hobart attended the Girls’ Welfare School (later the Dora Turner School), so there may be information about them in the Record Book.
These records are open and accessible to the public. For access to these records please contact Tasmanian Archives.
