What I love about this campus:
At MQC you may arrive as a stranger, but you will
definitely leave as a friend.
My message to you all:
Education is a privilege given to few. Use the
opportunity you have been given to grow as much
as you possibly can. Choose to commit to your
studies; be disciplined in the little things; set
realistic goals and you will succeed.
Thankyou for choosing
Macquarie City Campus, and
Welcome!
