The Sydney Teachers College (STC) was established in 1906 by the Department of Public Instruction, replacing two training colleges, Hurlstone Residential College for women and Fort Street for men, as well as the pupil-teacher system. The STC building within the grounds of the University of Sydney officially opened in 1925, however, students moved to the partially completed building in 1920 from Blackfriars Primary School.

In 1926, the first of the sites of what was to become the Yarrawood Conference Centre was bought on the banks of the Nepean River at Castlereagh. The intention was to establish a permanent base for practice teaching camps for rural schools. The property was not owned by the NSW Department of Public Instruction but purchased by a trust. In 1943, the land title was transferred to the Minister. Yarrawood, as it was commonly known, continued to be used by STC for Practice Teaching Camps until 1965.

In September 1971, STC became a College of Advanced Education (CAE) within the Department of Education. A Bachelor of Education course was established in 1975 for students intending to become Industrial Arts or Home Economics teachers. A few years later this was extended to include the Humanities, Sciences and Mathematics. STC continued to offer Diploma of Teaching, Graduate Diploma in Education, Graduate Diploma in Educational Studies, Graduate Diploma in Adult Education and Diploma Conversion courses in Technical Teacher Education.

STC staff worked with staff from the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH) to develop basic nursing and post-basic nursing education programs and participated in RPAH’s existing basing nursing training program.

On 31 December 1981, STC became a part of the new Sydney College of Advanced Education (SCAE) as the Sydney Institute of Education (SIE). Following the reorganisation of higher education in the late 1980s, SIE became part of the University.
