BYFORD Secondary College is now complete, with a new $15.9 million facility officially opened last week.

The double-storey building was part of the third stage of construction works and incorporates resources for the school’s Year 11 and 12 students including 15 general and two education support classrooms, three IT laboratories, a business studies classroom and a lecture theatre.

Education and training minister Sue Ellery, who officially opened the new building, said it would be well used for the school’s first group of Year 12 students this year.
