Work Scheme
Overview
The Student Work Scheme at Campion College supports the college’s operations, helps students with financial responsibilities, and fosters their professional growth.
Students participating in the Work Scheme are expected to demonstrate punctuality, a high standard of personal presentation, and perform tasks competently to maintain a professional and productive environment.
Students are rostered weekly from Week 3-16, excluding the mid-semester break. Additional hours or weeks of work will be allocated depending on the position or operational needs of the college.
Various roles are offered each year, but spaces are limited, and selection is not guaranteed. For returning applicants, past performance at the College will be taken into account. Relevant work experience is highly valued for skilled roles, while students demonstrating financial need will be prioritised for unskilled positions.
Applications open in Week 1 of Semester 1. Commencement of work is from Week 2 unless otherwise specified.
