Glandore Children's Home, known until 1958 as the Glandore Industrial School, continued the work of the Edwardstown Industrial School accommodating 'neglected and destitute' boys and boys placed under the care of the Children's Welfare and Public Relief Department for truancy and/or 'uncontrollability'. From 1966 the home was known as Glandore Boy's Home.
Details
In 1958, under the terms of the Maintenance Act Amendment Act of that year, the name of Glandore Industrial School was changed to Glandore Children's Home. From 1966 the institution was referred to in Annual Reports as Glandore Boys Home, acknowledging the fact that it was an institution for boys only.
During the early 1970s it was considered important for boys to be quickly moved out of a large institution like Glandore into smaller group situations in foster homes, cottage homes and/or hostels. On 4 February 1973, as a result of the passing of the Community Welfare Act 1972, Glandore Boys Home closed Buildings on the property were converted into a number of smaller cottage homes, including a Therapeutic Cottage Home for twelve boys, a Reception Cottage for nine and a Family Group Home for four residents.
