About Atwea College
Atwea College, formerly known as WEA Hunter (Worker’s Educational Association – Hunter), was established as a way of providing education to blue-collar workers more than 100 years ago. The Workers’ Educational Association originated in England and was introduced in Australia in 1913. In its heyday, it operated in every state except Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Nowadays, the WEA exists in New South Wales (Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong) and in South Australia (Adelaide).
Today, these humble beginnings remain a proud and fundamental part of our legacy, but we have become so much more. The organisation is now the fifth-largest provider of community-based education in NSW, offering a diverse range of senior secondary and vocational education to thousands of students across the state. In keeping with this progress, and to help position the organisation for the future, WEA Hunter was renamed Atwea College – a new name to unify our approach and unlock our potential.
Atwea makes a substantial contribution not just to the local economy but more importantly to the wellbeing of individuals within the community. Be it through skill enhancement, personal development, or increased self-esteem, Atwea’s objective of being a conduit through which individuals unlock their potential is being realised every day. We hope that by contributing to the development of individuals, Atwea in turn allows those individuals to contribute fully to their community and society in general.
