1. Title: A Sanctuary of Hope and Care: The Holy Innocents Church at Fairbridge Farm School, Pinjarra, Western Australia, 1920s The Holy Innocents Church, nestled within the Fairbridge Farm School grounds in Pinjarra, near Perth, Western Australia, stands as a beacon of hope and solace for the children who once called this place home. Established in the 1920s, the Fairbridge Farm School was an orphanage and children's welfare institution designed to provide care and education for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children from the United Kingdom. The Holy Innocents Church, with its distinctive bell tower and red-tiled roof, served as the spiritual heart of the institution. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, would make their way to the church for weekly services, where they could find comfort, guidance, and a sense of community. The church also played an essential role in the children's education, with religious instruction being a fundamental aspect of their upbringing. The children of Fairbridge Farm School were nurtured in a loving and supportive environment, where they were encouraged to learn, grow, and thrive. The Holy Innocents Church, with its stained-glass windows and peaceful ambiance, provided a sanctuary where they could connect with their faith and seek solace from the challenges of their young lives. As the sun sets over the picturesque Pinjarra landscape, the Holy Innocents Church at Fairbridge Farm School stands as a testament to the enduring power of hope, love, and the human spirit. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the importance of care, compassion, and the role of institutions like Fairbridge Farm School in shaping the lives of countless children.
