Accommodation
All around the world, students look forward to a grand adventure upon graduating from high school: the college experience. They consider this an adventure because it not only takes courage to move away from home but also provides a newfound sense of freedom, accomplishment and community.
Living in shared accommodation with like-minded people your own age is central to the college experience. It affords students the chance to explore, wrestle with deep questions, have fun, participate in late night conversations about big issues and build lifelong friendships. Campion offers this traditional college experience in Australia and we approach residential life and social life as integral parts of your liberal arts education.

Campion College students of all year levels are housed in each type of accommodation. The integration of students from across year levels fosters personal growth and maturity, deepening of relationships, and development of Christian virtues. It also provides leadership opportunities for senior students.
Each College House and College Dormitory is assigned a Residential Assistant who is a senior student of the College. Their primary role is to assist with the personal formation of each student, and to ensure that the accommodation is safe, secure and harmonious.
Residential Assistants, who live on-site, serve as role models for the students in their care. They are available to assist the students with settling into college life, and provide support throughout the year. Apart from being a personal support to students, the Residential Assistants also help to plan and implement social activities for the residents.
