From VPET Repository
Northcote College of Education (羅富國師範學院), was established in 1939 and named after Sir Geoffrey Northcote, a former Governor of Hong Kong. The school was initially using the campus of Diocesan Boys' School until 1941. The school was closed in December 1941 due to the Japanese invasion, and re-opened in 1948. In 1962, Northcote Training College moved to the new campus located at Pokfulam. The building cost $5.5 million to build and stands on an elevated site overlooking the western approaches to Hong Kong harbour. The school was renamed to Northcote College of Education (羅富國教育學院) in 1967, and merged into Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd) in 1994.
