The memoir of Norman and Alice Beck.

Shiloh, in Broomehill, south of Katanning, was a farm school for up to 16 boys who were wards of the State, referred by the Child Welfare Department. It was run independently by Mr and Mrs Beck on their farm, ‘Langwell’. Boys went to school on the property. Shiloh’s aim was to reform ‘delinquent’ boys through long-term placements and the development of farm skills. Shiloh closed in 1963. (Lost Katanning website)
