Values

The Pallotine Training Centre demonstrates the relationship between government and religious institutions in carrying out assimilation policies toward Aboriginal people. The place has a strong association with the Pallotine Order and represents the urban city counterpart to its country missions. In particular, the place provided accommodation and care for Aboriginal children from the former Tardun Mission School, which has been recognised with state significance (P1673).

Physical Description

Single storey Red Brick and tiled buildings.

History

The Pallotine Order specifically catered for the provision of residential care towards country Aboriginal students attending metropolitan schools. The Pallotine Mission Centre in Riverton was originally established in 1955 as a hostel for year 7 boy students transferred from the Pallotine’s Tardun farm centre in Geraldton to attend further education in Perth.
