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.

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.

Our Business Administration Students hosted a Christmas lunch for 120+ members of the local Mt Druitt community. They used their newly learnt skills to create invitations, posters, Powerpoint presentations as well as organise the event and publish a cookbook of recipes. The event was a huge success! Congratulations.

Macquarie Community College recently celebrated its 2018 Staff Recognition Event where we handed out Staff Excellence Awards and Anniversary Awards. See the list of all the winners.

Inspired by the international campaign, ‘Get Online Week’, Macquarie Community College has decided to extend our popular Tech Savvy Seniors classes to include free Computer Clubs. This will provide extra opportunities for seniors to ask any digital question they want in a friendly and supportive environment.

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.
