Macquarie City Campus New Student Orientation
Welcome
Thank you for choosing Macquarie City Campus,
and Welcome!
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.
