Fremantle School building, Heritage school building in Fremantle, Australia

Fremantle School Building is a limestone structure featuring Victorian Tudor architecture with Dutch gables and a shingle roof located on Adelaide Street. The building was constructed in 1854 using locally quarried limestone blocks shaped and positioned by convict labor.

Government-assisted Colonial Schools opened in Perth and Fremantle in 1833; Fremantle's closed in 1851 for poor accommodation. The Legislative Council voted £600 in 1852, and the new school opened on 16 October 1854, pupils marching behind the Pensioner Band. Additions followed in 1860, 1869–70, 1898 and 1900; it became a central school in 1909. It was listed on the Register of National Estate in March 1972, interim on the State register in 1992, and permanently in 2001 as part of Princess May Reserve.

The building is known by the name of its later occupants, the Film and Television Institute, also called the Perth Institute of Film and Television. The Colonial Schools opened in 1833 were open to all denominations of Christians, and pupils had to bring their own slates and books. The school was designated a central school in 1909, streaming children from contributory schools into commercial or industrial courses.

The building is located on Adelaide Street in Fremantle and is accessible as a protected heritage site under monument protection. Visitors should note that opening hours and accessibility may vary, so checking ahead is advisable.

The 1854 building was designed by William Ayshford Sanford, then Colonial Secretary and chairman of the Board of Education, though a 1995 conservation plan by Considine and Griffiths Architects credits James Austin. The Fremantle Inquirer called it "remarkably handsome but in our opinion far too expensive for what it was built for".
