Avondale earns university status
1st July 2021
Some very exciting news! Lake Macquarie is now home to a fully-fledged, fully-accredited university!
What most of us know as Avondale College at Cooranbong can now be called Avondale University - the first education provider in Australia to become a university under the new national standards.
It's fantastic, not just for the 124-year-old Avondale facility but the entire Lake Macquarie community.
I've had a very long association with Avondale and I know the amount of effort that has gone into achieving university status, so I congratulate Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Kevin Petrie and all who have come before him in those leading roles. Well done, well deserved!
