An aboriginal mission is a place/church where Aboriginies were kept to be converted to Christians and to be influenced by European culture. A reserve is a place set aside for the aboriginies to live in alone
Because Australia wanted an all white country? and maybe because the Aboriginal children were half-casts (half casts mean they have white in them- half aboriginal half white)! they were taken to missions (prison schools)

European colonisation had a devastating impact on Aboriginal communities and cultures. Aboriginal people were subjected to a range of injustices, including mass killings or being displaced from their traditional lands and relocated on missions and reserves in the name of protection
In many cases (not all), the aboriginal missions encouraged the loss of aboriginal culture by often trying to impose white Australian values, culture and language on the traditional indigenous people of Australia. These changes were not relevant to the Aborigines. Even the changed diet of the Aborigines in these missions led to problems with obesity and other health issues. On the positive side, the threat posed by graziers and pastoralists (as well as even police and government authorities) was minimised when Aborigines were on these protected lands.
Aboriginal Missions and reserves were protected areas where Aborigines were housed, although often at the expense of their culture. These missions had schools where the children were educated in white culture, rathyer than allowing the children to be educated in the ways of their people by their own elders and family members. In many cases, these missions (and schools) were established by Christian groups who had the Aborigines' interests at heart, but who also misunderstood the importance of the aboriginal culture. There were exceptions, where the Aborigines were free to live in as traditional a manner as they wished, or to become involved in white culture. Children were free to come and go from these schools. Government reserves were introduced when the Aborigines expressed their dissatisfaction with the missions, and these reserves were often simply the government taking over old missions. These tended to suppress the aboriginal culture, introducing white language, customs, education, foods, religion and culture at the expense of the Aborigines.
