| Description |
The Parramatta Girls Training School operated from 1889 to its close in the late 1970s as a state home for ?uncontrollable? girls. Under the guise of ?reforming? them, these teenagers were subjected to mental, emotional and physical brutality. It was a start in life that was metered out to vulnerable, uniformly poor and frequently indigenous women. |
