Buckley Park College is a medium-sized, public secondary school located in Essendon, Victoria, Australia. It has around 900 students from year 7 - 12. == Campus & Facilities == Buckley Park College used to be divided into five separate 'Blocks' or corridors which are parallel and are connected by a main hallway. Each Block is referred to by its assigned letter from the northern-most "A Block" through to southern-most "E Block". Now there are still blocks but the original main corridor is now one separate building. Each classroom is then referred to by its block and number, for example; C3 is room 3 in C Block. The main entry, at the front of the school, leads into the main hallway where the School Office is situated, directly at the front of B Block. Also located in B Block are the staff rooms, the Sick-bay and the Principal and Vice Principals offices. The canteen is situated opposite B block. A Block is generally used to house the entirety of Year 7 and 8 Students' home rooms, the remaining rooms generally being used to house other miscellaneous classes. Year 7 and 8 lockers are in here. A Block is also the area commonly used for senior student examinations. C Block houses the Year 9 students. Rooms of note in C Block are the IT Labs, the Textiles room, the Home Economics Room, and the VCE common room. The year 9, 11 and 12 lockers are here. D Block houses the Year 10 students. Rooms of note are the four science labs and an art room. Year 10 lockers are here as well as the remainder of the year 12s. E Block is mainly based around the arts, as it consists of six classrooms - a music room, two art rooms, a Computer Lab mainly used for art designing, the Systems Technology Room and a room used for wood production. Parallel to E Block, but not connected by the main hallway is the Performing Arts Centre, usually referred to as the PAC. This is where drama classes and musical performances are held. It has a large room with a slightly raised stage (for performing). It also has an adjoining classroom with a wall which can be removed to allow space for an audience (this second classroom is usually referred to as PAC2). To the north of A Block is a large gymnasium for sport and physical education. It consists of a large hall, two storerooms for sporting equipment, two changing-rooms (for male and female), an office to hold the belongings of students, and an upstairs mezzanine with table tennis tables and weightlifting equipment. West of A Block is the library. Along with its extensive book collection, it sports computers and newspaper archives used for games. The library is well equipped with computers, which are always available for use by students either before, during and after school. To fit the rapidly growing school population, four portable classrooms have been added to the west of C and D Block. These portables are referred to as WP1 through to WP4. WP1 and WP2 are referred to as the LOTE rooms. Due to renovations, more portable classrooms have also been added to the far north of the school (near the gymnasium) referred to as NP1 through to NP4. The school also includes two basketball/netball courts, a hockey field, and three tennis courts. Students regularly choose to go to the large football field on the block north of the school during lunchtimes, named Buckley Park (which is where the school name originated) and are supervised by staff. In between the Performing Arts Centre and E block, there is an amphitheatre with a 'stage' for outdoor performances. The school has an exceptional amount of technology available to students; there are more than 10 computers per block, laptops are available to borrow from the library and teachers can borrow out class laptop sets. Almost all classrooms in A block and D block are equipped with overhead projectors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buckley Park College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
