Australia's first Catholic Liberal Arts College

As Australia’s first liberal arts tertiary college, Campion College was opened to rediscover the traditions of higher learning in the liberal arts from the days of Plato’s Academy and the medieval universities.

The brainchild of the Campion Foundation Limited, in honour of Oxford scholar and martyr, St Edmund Campion, Campion College was a vision to inspire original thinking and critical analysis amongst students.

From the purchase of a 10 acre site at Old Toongabbie, through extensive renovations, and to an opening ceremony with more than 300 dignitaries from the Catholic Church, academia, politics, and thought leaders; H/Advisors APA ran a comprehensive communications campaign covering government relations and media.

Starting with a Bachelor of Arts degree in the Liberal Arts, Campion now offers a number of undergraduate and post graduate courses. The 2019 Federal Government’s Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QLT) survey found the College’s Arts degree ranked higher than any other Australian Arts degree on student satisfaction numbers.

After more than a decade of student graduations, the College boasts 270 graduates who now work in teaching, journalism, business. Law, medicine, evangelisation, academia and politics.
