Empowering women on their life-long learning journey as adults is our daily commitment at Macquarie Community College.

Asraa Al Saadi was a medical doctor in Romania before coming to Australia and struggling for years to find a role. She tried pathways such as Seek, Indeed, Jora and LinkedIn without any success.
Asraa attended the 2023 Blacktown Employment Accelerator in October 2023 and believes “a miracle happened to me that day.”
A community-based organisation with a history of over 20 years in the Blacktown region, Junaya began as a pilot program to support people who typically fell into the gaps – people that needed help but didn’t fit the criteria for other offerings. Junaya assists the entire community – from first time parents looking to connect with others, all the way through to parents involved with child protection concerns.
We are delighted to share the recently received very pleasing results from the 2023 National Student Outcomes Survey and the NSW Government’s Smart and Skilled Provider snapshot.
These independent reports demonstrate the quality of what we do at the College. More importantly they fuel our commitment to our vision of stronger communities through the power of learning and connection. Our commitment is unwavering at Macquarie Community College to our learners, many of whom face barriers to participating in learning and employment.
Recently we held our Staff Recognition Awards event to acknowledge and celebrate the dedication and milestones of Training, Teaching and Staff. It was wonderful to see such an incredible turn out where this annual event honours our team members who have demonstrated either outstanding commitment, excellence in teaching, or significant service anniversaries.
The Community Education Student of the Year Awards celebrate the achievements of Australia’s adult and community education students, based on career and study; communication, team and leadership skills; and community and other activities. We are thrilled to share the achievements of Simone who was chosen as a Community Education Student of the Year finalist!
At Macquarie Community College, we work tirelessly to bridge the “digital divide” to ensure those within our communities do not suffer from digital exclusion. The acceleration of digitalisation has left many behind, creating distinct gaps and disparity in access, affordability, and skills in using computers, phones, and tablets.
