Not only is Perth a great base for exploring Australia's western attractions, but it‟s also an easily accessible gateway to Asia. Perth is a progressive and modern city that has maintained a rich sense of heritage. Full of nightlife, markets, parks and marine activities, you‟ll never run out of things to do in Australia‟s sunniest city. Western Australia‟s capital is very marine-focused, with plenty of river and beach activities available for your outdoor enjoyment. Fremantle, Perth‟s neighbouring port city, is also a very popular marine attraction to its relaxed locals, and Rottnest Island is only a short ferry ride away. Boating, fishing and surfing are only some of Perth‟s many marine attractions. “From music and models to designers and sculptors, Western Australia is a breeding ground for innovative minds, unique talents and fresh ideas.” (Source: www.westernaustralia.com) For more information about life in Perth, check out: Perth Tourism www.perthtourism.com.au Tourism Western Australia www.westernaustralia.com What‟s On www.whatson.com.au Maps and street directions maps.google.com.au CAMPUS CONTACTS Name Email Phone [email protected] (08) 6217 4100 Campus Manager Dean Pearson [email protected] (08) 6217 4101 Assistant Campus Manager David Lapping [email protected] (08) 6217 4102 Enrolments and Administration Damian Masters [email protected] (08) 6217 4103 Student Services Advisor Rachael Kostsuik [email protected] (08) 6217 4106 Head, Alumni Association Amy Wiltshire [email protected] (08) 6217 4106 Marketing Coordinator Damian Masters [email protected] (08) 6217 4103 IT Support Todd Buddent [email protected] (08) 6217 4102 Library Garth Blackman [email protected] (08) 6217 4110 Campus Academic Coordinator Aaron Burnette [email protected] (08) 6217 4104 Assistant Academic Coordinator Belinda Lux [email protected] (08) 6217 4102 Reception and Enquiries Qantm College: Campus Guide – Perth 6 INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SUPPORT International students who feel their grievances have not been resolved to their satisfaction, or are struggling to come to an appropriate resolution of an issue with the college or some other aspect of their studies, may approach the Department of Education Services for external support and mediation.

To contact the State Library, call (08) 9427 3111 or email [email protected] CAMPUS STUDIO RULES Registration & Attendance When entering the studio floor, SAE and Qantm administer strict security measures. This is to ensure the work environment is free from safety hazards, theft and damage. General Rules You are required to wear your ID card on entering the studio floor. If you do not have your card, you WILL be refused entry to the Workstation areas. You are required to sign in at the Supervisor‟s office on entering your Workstation. On conclusion of your Practical session, you are required to sign out that you have finished that session. All band members and guests must be signed in upon entering the studio floor. They will receive a temporary Guest Pass that must be clearly visible at all times. Band members and guests must sign out on conclusion of the Practical session. Qantm College: Campus Guide – Perth 8 Band members and guests must return the Guest Passes. All students and guests must have their I.D. Cards/Guest Passes visible at all times. All students and their guests MUST wear appropriate footwear at all times. Booking Workstation Time (Three weeks in advance) Students have access to specific workstations over the duration of the program. Students can access booking sheets up to two weeks in advance at any time by consulting the appropriate noticeboards. All advance workstation and equipment bookings are subject to priority and made only under supervision of their lecturer. Students wishing to make advance bookings must request access to the future booking sheets from their lecturer. When booking time on the studio or equipment booking sheets, students MUST enter their full name and course code for each booking. Where students have failed to use their full name and course code, the booking will be deleted without notification and the time made available to other students. Students are limited to one four-hour workstation advance booking for each workstation per week depending on access and availability. Recording studio bookings are limited to four-hour periods commencing at 10am, 2pm and 6pm. Film equipment bookings are limited to overnight bookings only, except over the weekends, when items signed out on Friday need to be returned on Monday at 10am. Longer bookings are subject to strict approval by the course co-ordinator. Access to other facilities will not be allowed until the student has undergone the appropriate training in the use of the workstation. Under no circumstances are students permitted to book time on behalf of other students, or under the name of another student. This constitutes fraud and will be severely dealt with. Under no circumstances will advance bookings be taken over the telephone or by email. You must attend classes in order to book time. If a student has had a session cancelled by a member of staff, it is for a reason and re-booking the session will not be permitted. Staff reserve the right to suspend bookings at any time without notice. Students are allowed and encouraged to work in pairs or small groups. Not only will this make practical learning easier and more enjoyable, but students will be able to accrue studio hours faster. Booking Workstation Time (Three days in advance) Students may book any available extra time within three days of the current date in the current week. (i.e. If it is Monday, you may book any free sessions up until and including Wednesday.) NOTE: All 3-day rule bookings must be sighted, confirmed and initialed by a supervisor BEFORE being entered on the booking sheet. When booking sessions in this manner, you must indicate on the sheet that the booking is a 3-day booking to avoid confusion with regard to advance bookings. All 3-day rule bookings are limited to one 4-hour session per studio per day. Any and all unconfirmed 3-day rule bookings will be deleted. Late Arrival Cancellation for Workstation Bookings Late arrival to your Practical session, of more than 15 minutes duration, will result in a cancellation. If you are going to be late for a session, you are obliged to notify the Supervisor by phone to ensure that the Workstation is reserved for you. Where you have telephoned in advance, the workstation will be reserved for you until 30 minutes after the booked start time of the session. Qantm College: Campus Guide – Perth 9 Cancellation of Workstation Booking by Student Should you be unable to attend a practical session, SAE and Qantm require that 24 hours notice be given. Failure to attend a practical session without giving such notice will result in a „NO-SHOW‟ being administered. This will result in your next booked practical session being cancelled. No excuses are accepted without a Doctor‟s certificate. Three „No-Shows‟ against a student will result in a meeting with the Head of the Audio Department. Failure to provide 24 hours notice of cancellation of a booked session may result in a fine being imposed. Short Notice Workstation Booking (24 Hour Rule) You may book a workstation for later that day or for the following day, if it is available. This is known as the „24-HOUR BOOKING‟ rule. The Studio Supervisor‟s administer the 24-hour Booking. Bookings for the following day under the 24 Hour booking rule are restricted to 4 hours per workstation. There is no limit to the amount of time that may be booked on the day. For this purpose, „on the day‟ bookings will be taken from 10am onwards. Walk–In Studio Access Students may use any workstation if it is available and not in use, provided that the student has received training in the use of that workstation. Studio and Equipment Prerequisites The use of certain studios and equipment is limited to students enrolled in a particular period of study or trimester and thereafter. Please contact your course co-ordinator for more information. Care of Workstations and Fines Students are required to exercise care when using the workstation areas. The following guidelines must be followed: Food and drink must not be taken into any studio under any circumstances, by either students or their guests. Severe penalties will be imposed for any breach of this rule. Students must not tamper with, re-configure, re-patch, unplug, re-route etc. any SAE and Qantm equipment, physical or virtual. Severe penalties will be imposed for breach of this rule. Workstations and studios must be clean and tidy on completion of any sessions. Chairs are to be parked in an orderly manner. All microphone stands, etc. and accessories are to be placed in an orderly manner. All equipment is to be returned to the Supervisor and signed in. Failure to meet any of these requirements will result in an immediate cancellation of your next booking. Report any damaged or malfunctioning equipment to the Studio Supervisors immediately Equipment Use Any equipment required for a session must be signed out of the audio office prior to use. Upon completion of a session, all equipment used must be returned and signed in by a member of staff. Failing to correctly check equipment out or back in will result in a fine being imposed. FINE= $ 5.00 NOTE: Students are required to provide their own headphones for workstation use. Headphones are for artist recording purposes only. Students who need to sign out a pair of headphones for workstation use will have to pay the above fine as an equipment hire fee. Qantm College: Campus Guide – Perth 10 Food & Drinks Eating, drinking is strictly forbidden at or in any of the studios or workstations by any student or their guests. The fridge in the kitchen is provided for students to store food or drinks. At no time should food or drinks be kept in the studios, even if they are closed or empty. Students found to be consuming or in possession of food or drinks will have session time cancelled and/or be fined. FINE= $ 5.00 Normalising the Console and Studio Students must ensure that the workstation used is fully normalised at the end of each session: Knobs and buttons are returned to their default positions. All devices and peripherals are powered down. Microphone stands are fully collapsed and neatly stored. All microphone leads are properly rolled up and stored. Any rubbish is disposed of. (E.g. CD wrappers, channel scribble strips, broken guitar strings etc) FINE= $ 5.00 Leaving A Session A Student‟s session is considered over when the next booked session starts or at the time that the school closes for the day. Please make sure that you are ready to leave the studio at this time. (i.e. if your session runs from 10 till 2, you do not start packing up at 2.) Running overtime is unfair on your fellow students and supervisors and will be penalised accordingly. FINE= $ 5.00 per 15 minutes or part thereof Recording Session When booking a control room for recording purposes, please make sure that you book the appropriate recording space for the same time. Recording Rooms are connected to multiple workstations and booking a particular control room does not automatically ensure that you have the use of the recording space desired. NOTE: At certain times of the year, recording time is at a premium. It is imperative that all recording sessions are cancelled with 24 hours notice if you cannot make the booked time. FINE= $ 10.00 Qantm College: Campus Guide – Perth 11 CAMPUS FLOOR PLAN Qantm College: Campus Guide – Perth 12 Qantm College: Campus Guide – Perth 13 ACCOMMODATION Although the SAE Institute and Qantm College Perth Campus does not provide accommodation for students, we can provide some great contacts to ensure students find the best possible accommodation for their needs during their stay in Perth. When students first arrive, they may initially wish to stay in a hotel, backpackers‟ hostels, or nearby student-specific residences. Many students later decide to rent or share an apartment or house. Below are some of the many options available. Please contact the accommodation services directly for more information about facilities, services and costs. We recommend maps.google.com.au to check out the location of these sites and their proximity to the campuses. STUDENT ACCOMMODATION AU$300–$560 per week There are a number of agencies that assist overseas students in finding accommodation soon after arrival in Australia. For more information about these services, visit http://australia.accommodationforstudents.com/Perth.asp Homestay AU$200–$270 per week Homestay is a great way for younger international students to immerse themselves in Australian life, and benefit from the safety and supervision of adults. Meals are usually included in the cost, but selfcatering homestay is sometimes available. Check out www.homestaynetwork.com.au Hostels and Guesthouses AU$100–$300 per week Hostels are usually run by organisations such as Youth Hostels Australia (YHA) and the Young Mens‟ Christian Association (YMCA). Students usually share kitchen and bathroom facilities. Shared Accommodation AU$150–$300 per week Sharing off-campus accommodation is very popular with international students. You should look for advertisements on campus notice boards and in local newspapers. You should be prepared to provide your own furniture, as many housing options are not entirely specific to student needs. To search for shared accommodation online, try www.realestate.com.au/share, www.domain.com.au/share and perth.gumtree.com.au Rental Accommodation AU$280+ per week When renting a house or apartment, landlords require rent to be paid in advance, and will require a security bond equal to one months‟ rent. Studios and one-bedroom apartments in Perth are often expensive, so shared accommodation is recommended. To search for rental properties online, check out http://www.realestate.com/rent and www.domain.com.au/rent Qantm College: Campus Guide – Perth 14 It is recommended that students lease properties only through approved agents and landlords.
