I am delighted to welcome you to Mackenzie College, a successful and proud rural school located in Fairlie. We are a coeducational school catering to students from Year 7 to 13.

Our success stems from the genuine care and support our dedicated team provides. When students are surrounded by a community that deeply cares about their well-being and growth, they thrive academically and personally.

We strive to create an atmosphere where every student feels valued, encouraged, and motivated to reach their full potential. Our college prides itself on providing for all students, enabling them to grow and be proud of who they are.

Mackenzie College is a place where students excel academically and develop life skills, character and grit that prepares them for the challenges that they may face beyond our school gates. Our students leave us equipped with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate the world and make a positive impact.

At Mackenzie College, we take pride in our unique location in the heart of the Mackenzie region. Our curriculum is designed to take full advantage of our close proximity to our natural environment. We believe in creating an educational experience that incorporates the outdoors, enabling our students to explore, learn, and appreciate the beauty of the environment in which we are privileged to be located.

As you begin your educational journey with us, we hope you enjoy the incredible opportunities available and take advantage of our outstanding facilities, the wide range of co-curricular activities, and the exceptional teaching on offer. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to arrange a visit to our special school.
