Claremont Teachers' College - The building, of Cottesloe Limestone, was completed in 1901. In 1902, first students and staff, thirty nine in all, were enrolled. The building, on 12 acres bounded by Goldsworthy, Princess, Agett & Bay Roads, Claremont, overlooked Freshwater Bay. The kookaburra, swan and zanthorrea were incorporated in the original design for CTC 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. The two year teacher training course, had a Deputy Principal in 1914 Mr Irvine. Miss Wiley was a mistress at the college. Mrs Phillips was matron in charge. The first year men in the college were called 'men'' but the women were called 'girls'. At dinner a 'man' and a 'woman' sit at each end of the table with six 'children'.
George Randell initiated Claremont Teacher's Training College when he was Minister for Education in the Forrest Government. During the depression in the 1930s, the college was temporarily closed down from 1931 to 1934 as an economy measure. A Self Made Man'
