Nepean Community College has a long history of working alongside local organisations to expand access to learning across the Nepean region. 

For more than two decades, we have delivered community‑based programs that meet people where they are—whether that’s literacy, sewing, digital skills, or pathways back into education.

Our Media Page shares the stories, collaborations and community connections that shape this work, highlighting how education continues to open doors for people of all ages and backgrounds.

 

Seniors Week – 3rd March 2026

Nepean Community College was an active participant in Penrith City Council’s Seniors Week 2026, held at The Mondo.
The event attracted a strong community turnout, with many people coming together to celebrate this important occasion.
It was especially rewarding to reconnect with past students and even an old client, making the day feel like a real success.

 Street Libraries and Book Club – 2 March 2026

Nepean Community College is once again demonstrating its commitment to our community by introducing ‘street libraries’. Four specially constructed libraries have been created, with two placed on stands to highlight the importance of reading. We are grateful to Tony Glynn for his creativity in constructing the libraries.

Additionally, two will be installed within the college itself. Look out for our new Book Club – starting soon!

If you have any unwanted books on you would like to drop off they would be much appreciated!

The launch was held on 26 February at the Liverpool Catholic Club, alongside RTG’s inspiring two‑day conference.  After six months of collaboration, NCC and RTG have developed a new course based on the BSB40320 Entrepreneurship and New Business Training Product, designed to support people ready to start or grow their own business. We were also thrilled to have amazing guest speakers, including Chris Do, sharing their experience and insights with attendees.

 

 

 

Mamre House opens doors for young people returning to learning – 8 October 2025

Nepean Community College has worked alongside Mamre House for around two decades, delivering literacy and sewing classes to Sudanese refugee women and supporting community learning on the site. 2025 marked a new stage in that relationship, with NCC now also delivering a structured education program for young people aged 15–17 who are returning to learning.

The program offers a three‑day‑a‑week pathway toward the FSK20119 Certificate II in Work and Vocational Pathways, giving students a safe, encouraging environment to re‑engage with education. Families are already seeing renewed confidence and motivation in their children, and the initiative continues Mamre’s long tradition of providing hospitality, opportunity and practical support to people who need a different way back into learning.
