About the Female Orphan School

The Female Orphan School is just peppering the Parramatta and Hawkesbury campuses of UWS, dating back to colonial times.Since UWS took ownership of this significant building in the early 1990s, it has undergone significant refurbishment, with a third of the internal space and the 2013 marking the 200th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone by Mrs Elizabeth Macquarie, the university hopes to complete the internal refurbishment of the west and east wings of the building.
