April 3, 2020
Please find our latest update regarding Kiama & Shoalhaven Community Colleges and Shoalhaven River College response to COVID-19 below:
Kiama and Shoalhaven Community Colleges
Over the last several days we have been introducing a range of protective measures to limit the impact of COVID-19 and support our students in continuing their study wherever possible. We have been reviewing daily the advice given to us by the NSW Dept of Health and NSW Dept of Education.
With these considerations in mind Kiama & Shoalhaven Community Colleges have paused all onsite training as of Friday 27th of March.
What do you need to know about this pause?
Our trainers and staff have been contacting all students impacted by this decision and the College has either facilitated course transfers or relaxed the refund policy for courses that have not yet commenced.
In certain circumstances, we have been able to provide flexible course delivery options to support continued studies.
We are still taking enquiries for all courses, and our offices are still available to call.
