From 10am to 4pm this Saturday 12 September our campus will be abuzz with thousands of visitors for our annual Open Day. Many prospective students will be here to explore their future study options and pathways to Macquarie, however our staff community is welcome to bring the family and join in the fun.
Event highlights for staff and their families
For the kids
Visit the sports zone in the Central Courtyard – take a free ride on the trackless train, visit Lucy’s fete for face painting and balloon art, pan for gems or check out the reptile and animal handling show.
For the kids at heart
Discover how lasers work, witness the fun and colourful explosions at a chemical magic show, use an electron microscope to see what’s living on your toothbrush, and don’t forget to ride a camel!
Take a tour
