Thanks to all those that attended our Open Day at MCC's Mt Druitt campus. We had a great day celebrating our Open Day during Adult Learner's Week.

With 100% of NSW declared in drought, MCC students and staff banded together to raise over $2300 for our farmers recently.

Celebrate Adult Learner's Week and come along to our Open Day at the Mt Druitt campus! Enjoy lots of free workshops on computer and business skills, aged care and child care as well as a sausage sizzle, coffee cart and more.

A team of volunteers from Soldier On returned to complete last month's project.

We recently farewelled Paula, who had worked tirelessly for Macquarie Community College since January 1991, marking her tenure with the College at 27 years! As the Leisure and Self Improvement (LSI) Program Coordinator, Paula worked with around 1500 tutors and organised over 20,000 courses during her time here. After a much deserved holiday in Noosa with her family, we caught up with Paula.

MCC staff and locals joined together last week in a project with Soldier On volunteers, committed to serving each other and the community. Soldier On is an organisation that works side by side with contemporary veterans of the Australian Defence Forces and other services.

We are so proud of our graduating class, as they have overcome numerous social and physical barriers in order to attend and complete this course. One student has severe sight issues, whilst another has been dealing with major health issues that sees him regularly being admitted in and out of hospital.

Collaboration is an important value of Macquarie Community College. Recently, CEO Theresa Collignon, collaborated with local community organisations to discuss how we can, and do, support individuals from all walks of life to build community cohesion.

Last term was a busy period for Macquarie Community College. We love being part of local community events and celebrating different cultures. Here’s a snapshot of what we got up to.

At MCC, our students are the heart and soul of our College. Each day when we open our doors, we look forward to welcoming new and continuing students and joining them on their path to ‘realise their potential’. Whether it be upskilling or embarking on a new career, learning English language skills, improving their fitness or taking on a new hobby, the journey our students take at MCC is one that we are always seeking to continually improve.
