The Male Orphan School was established by Governor Macquarie in 1819 to house destitute boys aged between seven and ten. The boys were given a basic education and later, farm skills. In 1823 the School relocated to Cabramatta to premises on land previously occupied by the Female Orphan School. In 1850, the Male Orphan School and the Female Orphan School came together to form the Protestant Orphan School in Parramatta.
