Description: This is a photograph of girls at the Church of England Home for Girls, Avona, at Glebe. It shows approximately 40 girls standing on a lawn in front of Avona, which is a large stone building with wrought-iron verandahs. Some of the girls are holding hands and standing in a circle, while others face the camera straight-on. Most of the girls are wearing dark dresses with large white collars, though a few of them are wearing white aprons. Two women in white aprons (presumably staff members) can be seen on the lower verandah of Avona, which is raised up several metres from the lawn. To the side of Avona there is a glass conservatory or green-house, and in the background the Girls Training Home ‘Tress-Manning’ can be seen.
