In 1911, it was transferred to the State Childrens’ Department under the State Children’s Act. It was then closed in 1926 and re-opened in 1935 as the Home for Boys, Riverview.
In 1966 / 7 it was renamed as Training Farm for Boys, then in 1969 / 70 it was again renamed to Endeavour Training Farm.
It finally ceased to operate under the Children Services Act, when its license was cancelled in 1977.
This Home was also a large part of the Child Migrant Scheme.
