Orphanage Children's Home School 1918

Orphanage Children's Home  history must be recognised! ​

Throughout the city of  Ballarat  there were over ten insitutions Ballarat Benevolent Asylum ​,Female Refuge, Alexandra Babies Toddlers , Ballarat District Orphan Asylum, Ballarat  Orphanage, Ballarat Children's Home , Nazareth House and St Joseph's Home  just to name a few .
Many of  plaques , photos , objects and  memorabilia are scatted. from the former Ballarat orphanage Children's Home the school would make an ideal orphanage Museum , with its L shape design inside along with four large class rooms would comfortably house all of its history and anything associated with orphanage life under the one roof. The history of Forgotten Australians, Stolen Generation and Former Child Migrants, a museum like this would give the community and wider a  better understanding  of its history which needs to be shared  seen not forgotten or hidden away.

                                                The big question now is what's going to happen to all the plaques, items and materials  removed from the site ?
                     Past residents would like to see all plaques,items and materials be returned to the site as part of the redevelopment lets hope the developers are too thinking on the idea. ​

Ballarat Gold Museum

Ballarat Gold Museum holds a large collection of memorabile from the Orphanage and Children's Home times , many past residents have visited the museum to look through their collection.
