Welcome to NSCC Sydney Waterfront Campus
Thank you for attending the Sydney Waterfront Campus Grand Opening
October 14-18 was a week like no other. After years of planning, building and collaboration, NSCC officially held its grand opening events for the beautiful new Sydney Waterfront Campus (SWC).
The grand opening held an event each day of the week to open SWC’s doors. Over 2000 members of NSCC’s communities were welcomed throughout the week to show them the incredible campus and community space, along with special programming and entertainment, thanks to your support.
“I’d like to thank everyone who came out to experience Sydney Waterfront Campus’s grand opening. It was a special week for our community after years in the making to showcase and celebrate the new Campus, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of everyone involved,” says Carla Arsenault, Principal, NSCC Sydney Waterfront Campus. “We are excited to see what the future holds for the Campus and to continue celebrating it together.”
