Macquarie Community College is an educational institution but in many ways we are also very much a community where we “walk together and talk together” to deepen our intercultural understanding and personal bonds, regardless of our beliefs, backgrounds, colour, abilities or other “differences”. Today is a day where we celebrate the richness of working and living in our diverse multicultural communities of learners.

On International Women's Day, it's important to reflect on how participation in education and training empowers women, enabling them to create better futures for themselves, their families and their communities.The majority of our motivated learners at Macquarie Community College are women, many of whom are mature aged students balancing their busy lives of study, work, volunteering and family commitments. We are here to celebrate and support the learning journey of the thousands of women enrolled each year in our courses.

We recently held 2 events which encouraged the local community to get a taste for learning - an Open Day and a Seniors Week Festival event.

One of our greatest motivators at Macquarie Community College is when we hear stories of positive employment outcomes for our students. English student, Seong Ju Mun, was able to find employment because of her new found confidence, gained at Macquarie Community College's popular English language classes.

Come along to our Open Day and Seniors Week celebrations in February. You can enjoy free taster classes and demonstrations in a variety of courses.
