Alexander Mackie College (AMC) was established in 1958 at Paddington. [1] Mr. W. E. Hart was its first principal. [1] The college trained primary and high school teachers in art, music, science and social science. [6] [1]

Due to increasing student numbers the main teaching campus in Albion Avenue was too small and the college conducted classes at five different sites in inner-Sydney. [1]

From 1 September 1971, Alexander Mackie College was declared a college of advanced education within the Department of Education, NSW. [7]
