College adds media, dance studios to mix

Education Minister Peter Collier visited the school on August 6 to inspect the facilities which opened earlier this year.

The second stage of the school cost about $37.4 million, and included years 7, 9 and upper school buildings, as well as a fitness centre extension to the gymnasium.

"The additions of specialist dance and media studios, art rooms, music and media suites, and a recording studio, along with a new lecture theatre will ensure the College can meet continuing enrolment growth," North Metropolitan MLC Peter Katsam- banis said.

Mr Collier said the lecture theatre would complement the college's relationship with universities.

"For students on a vocational pathway, the interview rooms for prospective employers will certainly be put to good use."

Butler College opened as an independent public school in 2013 and has more than 1270 students from years 7 to 10 with facilities for mainstream students as well as students with disabilities.
