Encouraging students to thrive
We believe that great learning is made possible when young people, their families and staff feel safe and happy. This precondition for learning and school community life is exemplified in our values of People, Growth and Fun, forming the basis of all that we do.
We take our students on a journey of adventure and possibilities – learning is fun and our young people are the authors of their own story.
Our College has a strong tradition of academic excellence expressed through outstanding HSC and ATAR, results and is supported through comprehensive pastoral care, student wellbeing, sporting and extracurricular programs.
Part of the worldwide system of Adventist Schools, Macquarie College is non-selective and independent and services the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Hunter Valley regions.
