Thanks to our generous donors, we are delighted to announce that sponsorship is available for all local and interstate students to cover 100% of the program cost. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity this provides and encourage you to register ASAP – spaces are limited!

• 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 2.00pm. We encourage you to book flights that arrive by 1.30pm.
The group transfer from Campion College to the Airport on Day 4 of the program will leave around 2.30pm. 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 from 5.00pm so you have ample time to reach the airport, check-in and relax before your flight.
Instructions for participants arriving and/or departing via Toongabbie Station
The group pick-up from Toongabbie Station on Day 1 of the program will take place at 3.30pm. Toongabbie Station is on the T1/T5 Train Lines (click here to view the Sydney Trains Network Map).
The group transfer from Campion College to Toongabbie Station on Day 4 of the program will leave around 2.30pm.
