Orphans were transported along with convicts to New South Wales primarily as part of a strategy to address the social and labor needs of the colony. The British government aimed to populate the new settlement and create a workforce, and orphans were seen as a means to provide labor while also offering them a chance for a better life. Additionally, transporting orphans helped mitigate the moral concerns surrounding the convicts, as it presented the colony as a place of reform and opportunity rather than just punishment.
