Each term the College introduces new courses and pursuits to advance the vocational, artistic, creative and personal aspirations of people from all walks of life. We cater for the educational needs of small businesses, parents, school leavers, job seekers, seniors and busy city-dwellers. The College also develops programs for adults with special needs in order to enrich their lives through learning. The College celebrates diversity, celebrates inclusion and embraces participation. Few enterprises can be found that offer as wide a range of opportunities to learn, at as affordable price.

Our students have come from diverse backgrounds and all ages from school leavers to senior citizens. Our average student is 25-39, tertiary educated, well-traveled, and predisposed towards education. We do however, welcome everyone interested in self-improvement. Most of our students are tech-savvy, maintain an interest in local affairs and reside in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs or city fringe. Our main centres of activity are Bondi, Randwick, Coogee and Alexandria areas. Students in our English courses are from all parts of the globe and we extend a warm welcome to them all. Our students show a notable interest in technological change, the environment, personal health, parenting, community, career, investment and relationships. They are also defined by their attraction to personal achievement.

Our students are attracted to our courses for many reasons; to gain practical skills, to broaden their mind, to gain fluency in English or another language; to meet new challenges or to share the rewards of adult education with other learners. We endeavour to provide a fulfilling experience for all of them. City East Community College recognises the right of all adult community members to participate in lifelong learning. To this end we employ appropriate educational strategies, curricula, personnel resources, facilities and technology to foster creativity, flexibility and confidence in our students enabling them to contribute to the development of an educated society.
