Wakehurst Public School
Wakehurst Public School is a co-educational primary school located in the Sydney suburb of Belrose, and draws its students predominantly from the surrounding suburbs of Belrose, Davidson and Frenchs Forest. The school has approximately 400 enrolled pupils from Kindergarten to Year 6. History Owing to the large growth in the Belrose and Frenchs Forest regions during the 1950s and 60s, in 1963 the decision was taken by the Minister for Education, The Hon. Ernest Wetherell, to have a third primary school built in the Forest district. At the time, the existing schools were deemed to be insufficient: Frenchs Forest Public School (1916) was at capacity with 1000 students and 29 rooms and Belrose Public School (1952) was too small and undeveloped with only 67 students and 3 rooms. For these reasons the decision was taken to build a new school on Glen Street. The school was opened as Belrose South Public School in January 1966 but was later renamed as Wakehurst Public School in Ju ...

Form (education)
A form is an educational stage, class, or grouping of pupils in a school. The term is used predominantly in the United Kingdom, although some schools, mostly private, in other countries also use the title. Pupils are usually grouped in forms according to age and will remain with the same group for a number of years, or sometimes their entire school career. Origin During the Victorian era a "form" was the bench upon which pupils sat to receive lessons. In some smaller schools the entire school would be educated in a single room, with different age groups sitting on different benches. Traditional use Form numbers. Forms are traditionally identified by a number such as "first form" or "sixth form", although it is now more common to use the school year: for example, "ten" .
