The Club was formed in 1969 under the name WAIT Amateur Football Club, with a senior side in 'F' Grade and a 'B' Colts team. The Colts won only three games, but the seniors performed admirably, and narrowly lost the first semi final. The Inaugral President was Graham Marion.

In 1972, the second senior side was added, with the top side now being in 'B' Grade. The Colts won the Clubs first premiership, when C. Biris coached them to an 11 point win in the Grand Final.

The following year, the top side 'B' Grade, after losing only three games all year, lost the second semi final and preliminary final narrowly to finish third. The Reserves and Colts had good seasons, but both narrowly missed the four.

The move to 'A' Grade in 1974 was not successful, although the Colts performed creditably. The 'D' Grade, the third senior side which was introduced in the previous year, really struggled. They lost all 18 games and finished with a percentage of 13.3%. On June 29, they had a massive 61 goals 17 points kicked against them, which is the highest score kicked against the Club.

1975 saw the Colts finish fourth in 'A' Grade, while the three senior sides struggled. All sides performed reasonably well in 1976, without distinction.

In 1977, with the top side back in 'B' Grade, the colts lost the prelinary final after a strong season, when they lost only two qualifying games. The next finals appearance was again the Colts, when they lost the first semi final in 1979.

1981 was perhaps the Clubs darkest year. The top side earned relegation to 'C' Grade when they failed to win a game. The 'F' Grade and 'K' Grade with new coach Paul Carroll, in their second season, also struggled for wins, leaving the Colts, with seven wins, to lead the way.

The Club bounced back in 1982. The 'K' Grade missed the finals when they lost the final qualifying game. The 'H' Grade (seconds) narrowly lost the first semi final, as did the 'C' Grade (top side). Ted Kosicki, coaching for the first time, got the Club its' second premiership 10 years after the first, when the Colts easily beat Dianella. 1982 was also notable because of the four grades contested by the Club, our players won three of the medals. Stuart Crole ('C' Grade), Eddie Jokovich ('C' Colts) and Paul Carroll ('K' Grade) all took honours. The 'H' Grade also kicked a Club record when they posted 41.36 during the year.

1983 continued the upward trend. The Colts, now coached by Ross Bradley, made it back to back premierships when they accounted for Whitfords. The 'C' Grade, coached for the first time by former Subiaco champion Ken Bell, missed out on a Grand Final berth when they lost the preliminary final 13.17 (95) to 15.8 (98). The 'H' and 'K' Grades narrowly missed the five. Garry Lawrence was elected President, thus sowing the seed for the building of the clubrooms.

The 1984 performance earned the top side promotion to 'B' Grade. Ken Bell was once again robbed of a Grand Final when his side lost the Preliminary Final. The 'G' Grade (seconds) lost the Elimination Final to finish fifth, while the Colts missed the finals. The 'K' Grade, coached by Paul Carroll, gave the Club its first senior premiership, its fourth overall, and its third in three years when they won the Grand Final by 6 points.

1985 saw the seniors ('B' Grade) coached by Ken Duffy go down narrowly in the first semi final to finish fourth. The 'G' and 'J' Grades both lost the elimination finals to finish fifth, while the Colts again finished on the wrong side of the five.

1986 was a year which saw all four sides narrowly miss the five. The 'B' Grade missed out when they lost the last qualifying game. The Colts and 'J' Grade also finished sixth, while the 'G' Grade were a close seventh. Graham Beale retires after a club record 241 games.

In 1987 the Club became incorporated under the new name of "Curtin University of Technology Amateur Football Club Inc". The 'B' Colts under Cyril Lavell finished third after the qualifying games, but lost both of their finals to end up fourth. Both senior sides finished ninth, resulting in the 'G' Grade being relegated to 'H' Grade.

1988 saw the senior sides finishing eighth and the Colts losing the elimination final to finish fifth. During

1989 all sides struggled. Player numbers were down due to injuries and a general lack off player commitment. The top side finished last facing 'C' Grade relegation, while the Colts and 'H' Grade missed the five. A highlight of 1989 was the introduction of the first ever Curtin Tigers Ladies Team, which competed in the Women's Sunday League. Under the guidance of Norm Hardwick they finished fourth after reaching the first semi final. A commendable effort considering the rough and rugged welcome provided by some of the more experienced opposition sides.

1989 also saw our clubrooms at South Oval becoming operational. Due largely to the persistence of Garry Lawrence, the clubrooms are the basis on which the Club can secure its future.
