Macedon Ranges Further Education Centre Inc.

With Term 3 commencing next week, we wanted to reflect on what a wonderful first half of 2026 we've had already (and to post the photos that may have slipped through the cracks of our social media! 😆)

In Term 1 MRFEC ran it's first ever Bunnings Sausage Sizzle, and what a turnout we had! With some familiar faces popping in to buy a sausage, our wonderful staff and volunteers had a day full of laughs, snags and we walked away having raised over $2000 that went straight into MRFEC! 👏

Throughout Terms 1 and 2, we also celebrated International Women's Day and Reconciliation Week with free morning and afternoon teas. We welcomed the community to a Free Community Lunch for Neighbourhood House Week, bringing people together to connect and celebrate our community. 😁

Our much-loved monthly bingo group has returned for another year of games, fun, and laughter, while our Social Craft Group has continued to grow and become a real cornerstone of our centre.💐

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful organisations and community groups that have been involved in these events. We are so grateful to work alongside such supportive partners in our community.

Our new pottery wheels, pottery shed, and community room tables, generously funded by Community Bank Gisborne & District have quickly become a beloved feature of our centre. We sincerely thank the bank for its ongoing support and commitment to our community.

It has already been a fantastic year for MRFEC, and we can't wait to see what's still in store. Want to join in on the fun? Enrolments for Term 3 are now open!
