Avondale’s governing body, the Avondale College Council, voted in December 2010 to expand Avondale’s name to Avondale College of Higher Education.

The purpose of the new name is to avoid confusion. A variety of educational institutions use the word ‘college’ to identify themselves, including secondary schools, vocational education and training institutions, higher education providers, and residences on university campuses. The new name clearly places Avondale in the higher education sector.
