Welcome to the Bankstown Community College website!
Thank you to all of you for your support in 2009. The College continues to go from strength to strength and we strive to keep on improving to deliver an excellent education experience for all.
Regular visitors to our web site would have noticed that we have a new banner and are working on a fresh look for 2010. Watch this space for news on Online Enrolment. This project is currently underway and we hope that very soon you will be able to enrol from the comfort of your home or office whenever you have the free time to do so!
Our first term for 2010 will start on February 8. If you are keen to secure your place in a course (both accredited and general/leisure) enrolments are now open. A number of our courses sell-out fast so be sure to enrol in order to confirm your place.
All course details are available by clicking on the course of your choice on the left-hand side of this message.
Look out for our new mini-paphlet which will be in the February 3rd edition of The Torch newspaper.
We have decided that from this year will will try and minimise the amount of paper we use. If you miss the summary pamphlet distributed in The Torch, this mini-pamphlet is also available upon request. The PDF of our 20-page brochure will be posted on this web site and it too will be available by request.Please give us a call on 9793 8155 and will shall make arrangements to post you the brochure free of charge (available now).Multiple copies of the 20-page brochure are also now available from the Bankstown Centro Shopping Centre Info Desk.
In our concerted efforts to be more environmentally-friendly we have logged our enrolment statistics for the last two years and have found that our overall enrolment each term is less than 1% of the number of brochures we have been publishing (80,000). It simply did not make any sense for a not-for-profit organisation to be allocating more than 15% of its annual budget on printing brochures which do not actually translate to enrolments. As you would be aware, the College needs to earn the majority of its expenditure through the selling of its courses.
We hope you can be supportive of our goals to not waste paper and do our bit to be more environmentally friendly.
May you all enjoy the New Year and continue to learn something new every day in 2010.If you have been thinking of joining one of our courses make sure you book as early as possible as some Term 1 courses have already SOLD OUT!
If you have not visited the College for a while make sure to drop by to check out our new wheelchair chair lift which has been installed to assist clients who cannot manage the stairs to the College. You do not need to be using a wheelchair to use the chair lift- anyone young or old can make use of the chair lift if climbing the stairs is something you cannot manage.
On behalf of the staff, the College Council , and from me personally, Thank you again for your support throughout 2009.

ICET Project
Bankstown Community College is grateful for the Federal Government's funding which has allowed us to refurbish our computer labs. This project is funded by the Australian Government through the Teaching and Learning Capital Fund (TLCF) for Vocational Education and Training (VET).
We hope to have this project finalised in early February 2010.
