Junior & Senior Public Examinations 1867-1916

This index lists students who obtained pass marks in one or more subjects in the New South Wales Junior and Senior examinations between 1867 and 1916. It also includes some schools and students from Queensland, as there was no equivalent standard examination available there during this period. These records have been compiled from published lists of the results of the Junior and Senior Public Examinations. In cases where these published lists have not survived, records of the University of Sydney have been consulted. Note that there was no limit to the number of times a student could sit for one or more subjects in either examination level, meaning that your ancestor may appear more than once in this index, even listed as attending different schools. Another thing to keep in mind is that the admission of women was not allowed at the University of Sydney until 1881.
