Institutions
Hi my name is Christina Green, although I have been given many names over the years as you will find out within the pages of my Autobiography “The Life of Riley”. These are the places that became part of my childhood in state care.
Bidura
Bidura was where I was first placed as a three year old toddler, the beginning of my time in state care.
Parramatta Girls Home Institution
My story at Parramatta Girls Home and the reunions that later brought former residents together.
Hay Girls Institution
Hay was a maximum security annex for girls sent from Parramatta. Its rules and daily life form another chapter of my story.
Minda Remand Centre
At Minda, boys and girls were separated by a high sandstone wall.
Ormond House – Thornleigh Girl’s Home
I was sent to Ormond Girls Training School in 1969.
The Glebe Shelter For Girls
Another chapter of my life in an institution, when I was thirteen.
