The Boys from St Francis : Stories of the remarkable Aboriginal activists PB Indigenous This edition includes cautionary talesThis remarkable true story pays tribute to a band of Aboriginal boys who grew up together in one group home many succeeding spectacularly in later life. In 1945, Anglican priest Father Percy Smith brought six boys from their Northern Territory home to an Adelaide beach suburb. There, they became the first boys of St Francis, a place that would house 50 such boys over 11 years. Some were sent, with the blessing of their mothers, to gain an education.
