Community

The Nirimba Education Precinct is an active member of the local community and supports the community in a range of ways.

The Indigenous Students page seeks to provide information and opportunities to Indigenous students, staff and community through showcasing what Nirimba Education Precinct partnerships can offer.

BREED Taskforce is located on the Precinct. BREED’s aim is to stimulate economic and employment growth within the Blacktown Area. BREED operates the Structured Workplace Learning Programme to facilitate the provision of structured learning opportunities to students in a real or simulated workplace and also the School Business Community Partnership Broker Program to broker partnerships between schools, business and industry, families and community groups.

Operated by BREED, The BREED Business Centre (BBC) acts as a business incubator supporting small businesses by reducing exposure to the volatile environment most new or expanding businesses face. This assistance to small businesses in their formative years stimulates economic and employment growth in Western Sydney by helping these businesses stay in business and expand to employ additional staff.

The BBC also has meeting room facilities available for hire to the general community and has virtual office services.
