We are delighted to announce that all places in this year’s Winter Program have been fully funded by our generous donors. This means that Winter Program is free to attend for all participants but we encourage you to register ASAP as spaces are limited.
If you or someone you know would like to help us to offer free programs in the future, we invite you to click here to make a donation. You can learn more about Campion’s fundraising needs and initiatives here.
Program Inclusions
- Accommodation in one of our dormitories or residential houses (males and females reside in separate residences)
- Transport to and from Sydney Airport or Toongabbie Station (if required)
- All lectures, activities and meals
Travel Arrangements
Travel to and from Campion College is at the participant’s expense.
For any students traveling from regional areas or interstate, we will organise group transfers to and from Sydney Airport and Toongabbie Train Station. You will be asked to indicate your travel intentions on the registration form and provide flight/coach/train details closer to the program start date.
Instructions for participants arriving and/or departing via the airport
- The group pick-up from Sydney Airport on Day 1 of the program will take place at 1.30pm. We encourage you to book flights that arrive by 1.00pm.

Even though this is well before the end-of-work rush, Sydney traffic can be unpredictable and it may take up to 90 minutes to arrive at the airport. We encourage you to book flights after 5.30pm so you have ample time to reach the airport, check-in and relax before your flight.
