The Centre for Continuing Education (CCE) is part of the University of Sydney Education and Students portfolio. CCE provides non-award short courses and organisational training for individuals and organisations across a range of professional disciplines. It is located on Missenden Road in Newtown, an inner-west suburb, just south-west of the Sydney city centre. Extension lectures at the university were inaugurated in 1886,[1] 36 years after the university's founding, making it Australia's longest running university continuing education program.[2]

History

The University of Sydney was founded in 1850.[3] Emulating an English movement to extend the benefits of university teaching and to forge links with the community, Walter Scott[4] (1855–1925) inaugurated the University Extension Board lectures in 1886.[5]

At its meeting in July 1892, the University of Sydney Senate accepted a recommendation of the University Extension Lectures Committee that Miss Louisa Macdonald deliver a course of six lectures on "Greek life and art".[6] The Senate also approved payment to Miss MacDonald of an honorarium of £30 for teaching the course, and agreed that the course participants should each pay five shillings.
