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.

Mamre House opens doors for young people returning to learning 

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.

Rise To Greatness

Wesley Jones, CEO Nepean Community College and Chris Do.

Nepean Community College (NCC) has officially launched an exciting new relationship with Rise to Greatness (RTG)—bringing entrepreneurship and business education to the next level!

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.
