Trinity College has
its origins in Christian Brothers’ College, St George’s
Terrace Perth, founded by Bishop Mathew Gibney and Brother Ambrose
Treacy in 1894.
In 1961, the buildings and land were purchased by the Perth City
Council as the site was considered ideal for the construction of a
major hotel to be ready for the Empire games. The College was
transferred to its present location in 1962 and renamed Trinity College. |
