What does the Association do?

The Association is a not for profit organisation with the following aims:-

• To provide the focus for the community life of Newcastle College of TAFE
• To serve as a unifying force in the life of the College and to encourage student interest in and a commitment to Newcastle College of TAFE
• To provide and oversee the services and facilities for Association members
• To provide facilities for the cultural, social, recreational, intellectual and physical development of members
• To, whenever possible, provide facilities for the benefit of members.
• To raise funds for the purposes of the Association
• To use all funds for the purposes of the Association

To achieve this The Association generates an income through operating bookshops at 4 locations across the Hunter Institute Campuses. These are located at Newcastle, Glendale, Maitland and Wyong. We also provide a mail order service to any address within Australia.

A wide range of products are sold through these outlets, including snacks, drinks, course books & printed materials (many printed from our own printery), as well as stationery and gifts. The bookshop operation provides The Association with an annual turnover of about $1.3 million and, for the 2008 financial year, a surplus of $160,000.
