Clontarf was established in Manning by the Christian Brothers from 1901,
with boys from the Subiaco Boys' Orphanage as the first residents.
Clontarf later took in boys aged around 12 to 16 years from various
backgrounds including Australian-born boys who were wards of the State
and those who had been admitted privately, orphans, and (from 1947 to
1966) child migrants from Britain and Malta. Clontarf closed in 1983 and
the site later became the Clontarf Aboriginal College.
The Christian Brothers moved to a site along the Canning River in what was later known as the suburb of Manning, in 1901. They had previously been running the Subiaco Boys' Orphanage and the first residents of Clontarf were the boys and brothers from the Subiaco Boys' Orphanage
