History
2005 is the Faculty's 125th anniversary, the College being originally established in 1880. (The Victoria University of Wellington's predecessor, Victoria College – later Victoria University College – opened in 1899.)
Previously, the Wellington College of Education (formerly Wellington Teachers College) was a college of education (formerly a teachers college) in Wellington, New Zealand.
The College and University had already released a joint course catalogue for that academic year in October 2004 by the time the merger was sealed.
