McCarthy Catholic College Trade training Centre
Nepean High School Students Reach For The Stars
The original Emu Plains caravan park opened 25 years ago and has been upgraded with new facilities.
The official ground breaking ceremony for the $6million trade training centre recently took place at the college with Federal Member for Lindsay, David Bradbury and Bishop Kevin Manning. The new facility will train students from McCarthy, Caroline Chisholm at Glenmore Park, Xavier College at Llandilo and St Columba’s High at Springwood, which are all partner schools to the project. It will allow local young people to start their trades training while they are at school.
Nepean High has been selected to become a specialist creative and performing arts high schools. Nepean will join Northmead, Newtown, Wollongong, Hunter, Campbelltown, Ku-ringgai and Conservatorium High School as specialist arts high schools. “It’s very exciting news for us,” said Principal Tony Baldacchino. “It presents terrific opportunities for the school.”
The fundraiser FUN DAY will be held on Sunday 1st November from 10am-3pm at Leonay Public School.
