These community collaborations, which involved more than 200 people resulted in consensus around a model that called for the establishment of a collegiate, with two-year 7–12 campuses at Kelso and Bathurst High.

A feature of this collegiate model was that each campus would maintain its own identity, but the establishment of shared curriculum and resources would increase opportunities for all students.

This blend allows the two campuses to maintain their own unique identities but with increased opportunities for students using the resources of the college.

College provided transport further supports the educational needs of senior students by allowing easy movement between campuses to meet course and co-curricula requirements.

Denison College has partnerships with Charles Sturt University, Western Institute of TAFE and local industry.
