Launch of New Melbourne SAE and Qantm Combined Campus

Back to Overview

2nd September 2010

SAE and Qantm College Melbourne marked the merging of their two formerly separate campuses on Thursday August 19, with a gala event to celebrate the launch of the newly integrated campuses.

The red carpet was rolled out, and the champagne and canapés continued late into evening as SAE and Qantm Managers and staff, industry partners, agents, and government officials met and mingled, and danced to the live jazz band that was hired especially for the occasion. 

SAE Melbourne Manager Paul Ledingham, newly appointed Australian General Manager Zbys Klich and President of SAE Tom Misner all gave well-received speeches throughout the night, commenting on the excellent milestone achieved by the formation of the new campus. Dr Misner said:

"I am extremely proud to see the new Melbourne facility come to fruition. This campus is now one of the most exceptional media campuses in Australia. It represents our commitment to strive for excellence in education and looking around at the remarkable equipment and facilities, it ensures that the essential elements of SAE and Qantm courses remain practical-focused."

Throughout the night the impressed guests had the privilege of touring the premises, which was formerly solely the Melbourne SAE school. The newly renovated campus has now extended almost double in size, encompassing approximately 3000 square metres, and includes additional computer labs, classrooms, studios and a brand new lecture theatre.

The following day classes resumed as per normal, although we're sure there were a few hurting heads about the campus. All worth it though, and a small price to pay for such a enjoyable event!
