Perth Native School, which was also known as the Wesleyan Native School and Perth Native Institution, was a residential school for Aboriginal children established in Perth by the Wesleyan Reverend John Smithies. At first, the students stayed in the home of Francis Fraser Armstrong but moved to a ‘mission house’ in William Street in 1841. The school closed in 1845 and the children went to the Wanneroo Mission.
