William Ian Melville The University of Western Australia May 2006 ABSTRACT Within the State of Western Australia, from its early years, education has been provided not only by the State, but also by religious denominations, particularly the Catholic Church, the Anglican Church and other Christian groups. This thesis is concerned with Anglican education in the State from the years 1917–92. The particular focus is on the structures established for the provision of Anglican education in the Diocese of Perth throughout the period. The central argument of the thesis is as follows. During the period 1917–92, the structures established for the provision of Anglican education in the Diocese of Perth changed across four sub–periods: 1917–50, 1951–60, 1961–80 and 1981–92. During the first sub–period, provision was made under structures which allow for the schools which existed to be classified according to three ‘types’: ‘religious–order schools’, ‘parish schools’, and ‘schools of the Council for Church of England Schools’.
