The Queen’s Orphan School in the Hobart suburb of New Town was one institution comprised of the Female Orphan School & the Male Orphan School. Very young boys started off at the Female Orphan School before being transferred to the Male Orphan School.

The institution operated from 1828 (it began as the King’s Orphan School) and closed in 1879.

Initially, the majority of children were those born to convict women; when transportation stopped in 1873, so did numbers of children at the orphanage. Some Aboriginal Australian children were housed there too.
