Mount Erin College - Facilities

Facilities

Mount Erin College retained many technical facilities from its previous years as Baxter Technical School. These include fully functional woodwork rooms, multi purpose 'tech' rooms used for year 7 and 8 students an electronics room as well as two large kitchens, a textiles room and ceramics room.

Other facilities include a vast and amply equipped science wing, many graphics and art rooms, 3 large computer rooms, resource center containing many thousands of books and around a further 25 computers, interactive whiteboards in around 1 in every 3 classrooms (excluding tech rooms), learning center and student welfare facility.

The Year 7 annex is a fully integrated open plan learning area occupied by the year 7 level. It 'softens' the transition process from primary school and provides a positive learning area.

The school has vast, well kept grounds and gardens. There are many sporting areas including a large oval and multiple courts. The school has a huge gym, with adjacent weights facility and separate change rooms.

The school also has a well-developed auditorium that hosts the accredited drama facility. Students have the opportunity to explore not only the acting side of drama, but also the backstage aspects such as lighting and stage craft. The Drama department hosts a production at a professional theater (the George Jenkins theater) each year. The production is generally spread over one week, containing 3 night time performances and matinées.

The college also has state of the art music facilities who produce many, very talented musicians who are well known and respected through the peninsula.
