Collingwood Tech School

35 Johnston Street, Collingwood

In July 1912, Collingwood Technical School opened in the modified bluestone buildings at 35 Johnston St. originally built in 1853 as the Collingwood Town Hall and Court House. Within three weeks, there were 57 boys enrolled, studying preliminary carpentry and pattern-making, plumbing, engineering, sheet iron work and bricklaying. They attended two hours a night on three evenings a week. In 1913, the school opened its doors to juniors and took residence in new permanent buildings erected on the site. It was classified as a trades school by the State Education Department. Two years later, courses in electrical wiring and electrical and mechanical engineering were introduced.

Over the next 75 years, the school expanded with new extensions and courses as education assumed a much greater significance in society. In 1916, during World War I, the school was used to rehabilitate returned soldiers and a Returned Soldiers Training Scheme began. In 1931, during the Depression, classes started for unemployed youths and by 1935, the junior school had 788 enrolments, the biggest of any metropolitan technical school. The total enrollment was 1769. In 1970, the school was renamed 'Collingwood Technical College' following the introduction of 'middle-level' engineering courses. Then, in 1976, Certificates of Technology were introduced and the college assumed responsibility for high school evening classes at University High School as part of TAFE operations. In 1981, the college changed its name to 'Collingwood College of TAFE'.
