History
The East Perth Primary School was constructed in 1895. In 1902 a separate Infants School Building was constructed which had one classroom, hall, teachers’ room, hat room and verandah. An additional classroom was built in 1905, and again in 1912. The school was altered again in 1927 to incorporate Household Management.
The building was subsequently used as a centre for Aboriginal Youth known as Jack Davis Centre. The house adjacent (demolished) was used as an Aboriginal Centre for many years associated with Moore River Aboriginal Settlement.
