Historical information

The construction of the Claremont Teachers College was completed in 1901and opened in 1902. The college was built on 12 acres bounded by Goldsworthy, Princess, Agett and Bay Roads, Claremont and overlooked Freshwater Bay. The kookaburra, swan and zanthorrea were incorporated in the original design for college's crest. The college was established to train teachers in WA (previously done in South Australia). The East Claremont Practising School (Prac) was built adjoining the college in 1905 for the trainee teachers from the college to practise teaching.
