About the Institution
The Lismore Teachers College (pictured at right) commenced its first year on Monday 23 February 1970, after several years of negotiations that began in 1959. It had 151 students and primarily was a single purpose college. On 1st September 1971 Lismore Teachers College became a College of Advanced Education under the Higher Education Act 1969. As student numbers increased and demand for a wider range of courses grew, the college was renamed Northern Rivers College of Advanced Education in 1973 becoming a multidiscipline college within the Ministry of Education. Even at this early stage of development our courses and successful placement of graduates were building us a highly regarded reputation of quality standards. Following the publication of the Commonwealth Government's White Paper on Higher Education in 1988, and its emphasis on the development of larger institutions, Northern Rivers College of Advanced Education agreed to an association with the University of New England and formally became a network member of the newly constituted University of New . under legislation brought down in 1989. In a short span of time Southern Cross University now encompasses three campuses, with University centres in Australia and overseas, providing students with full flexibility in tailoring our courses to their career aspirations. In response to industry needs and student demand, we have pioneered or developed high quality courses in niche areas such as forestry, coastal management, naturopathy, music, workplace training and tourism. An important part of Southern Cross University's development strategy is our commitment to the NSW North Coast. Direct consultation or partnership with industry and employer groups, with practical workplace components in our courses are a part of this commitment. Southern Cross University does not intend and never has attempted to emulate other universities. We aim to become the most progressive and innovative regionally based university in Australia - and we are well on the way to achieving that aim.
