The Western Australian School of Mines-WASM Kalgoorlie was established in the Goldfields in 1902 as a result of a recommendation of a Government Committee of Inquiry. Following the discovery of gold at Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie, people flocked in their thousands to this part of the State. With the difficulty of treating refractory ores and the prospect of underground mining becoming a reality there was an urgent need for a facility to train and educate people in mining related fields of study. Western Australian School of Mines-WASM Kalgoorlie was initially set up at Coolgardie in one of the buildings erected for the International Mining and Industrial Exhibition of 1899. However, at about the same time, the State Government released sufficient funds to build new premises at Kalgoorlie and consequently staff and students moved to this location in 1903. The original building now houses the School's Computer Centre, Mining Geology Program and Administration.
Western Australian School of Mines-WASM Kalgoorlie is proud to be one of a select few institutions that is recognised by the Minerals Council of Australia as delivering excellence in minerals education, and is actively involved in the Minerals Tertiary Education Council's initiatives. Western Australian School of Mines-WASM Kalgoorlie was administered by the Department of Mines until 1969 when it became a branch of the Western Australian Institute of Technology, which has since become the Curtin University of Technology. Its associateship courses were renamed as degree courses, additional undergraduate courses were introduced, and a range of course and research postgraduate programs have been developed. The Western Australian School of Mines-WASM Kalgoorlie is located on both a regional Kalgoorlie Campus in the heart of Australia's mining industry and the Bentley (Perth) Campus of Curtin University of Technology. Since its foundation in 1902 it has earned a reputation for excellence in mining education and research, both locally and internationally.
