| Biography/history |
Katherine Mary Clutterbuck, (1860-1946), better known as Sister Kate, was an Anglican nun who commenced the first cottage home for part Aboriginal children at Queens Park, W.A. in 1934. When she died in 1946, responsibility passed to the Presbyterian Church, thence to the Uniting Church. Sister Kate’s orphanage operated from 1935, with Manguri being incorporated in 1995 to provide residential child care and family support for Indigenous children and families. In 2002 after experiencing considerable financial difficulties and problems with management of the services, Manguri’s funding was ceased and the cottages closed. |
