(KBH) was a ‘home’ run by the NSW Government for over 50 years (1924 – 1970) to house Aboriginal
boys forcibly removed from their families and deliberately re-programmed in order to assimilate
them into white Australian society. “We were just little boys.”
• At the end of the day, a show and tell to see the weaving and what the kids have done
with the Boomerang painting. Then the kids will receive a small gift to take home.
