Alumni NatashaNatasha M. - Teaching

Bachelor of Arts, in the Liberal Arts

"I am currently completing my first year of a Masters of Teaching at the University of Sydney. Campion’s unique commitment to integrating academic excellence with personal development in the context of Faith has been the perfect foundation for further Educational studies."

 

Alumni NorbertNorbert N. - Law

Bachelor of Arts, in the Liberal Arts

“ I am currently finishing my Law studies at Notre Dame University, and work as a paralegal in a law firm based in Sydney’s West. The years I spent at Campion gave me an advantage over the undergraduates that I needed to succeed at Law. My experience at Campion was both enjoyable and challenging, and the education it provides equipped me with the communication, analytical and problem solving skills that I would have lacked had I gone straight into Law from the HSC.”

Alumni SymeonSymeon T. – Writing and Film

Bachelor of Arts, in the Liberal Arts

Lights! Camera! Action! Movie-making is often seen as being about stars, glamour and special effects. But it all starts with an idea. And ideas are what Campionites should have in abundance. Moviemaking is about storytelling. Stories start with a philosophical premise, take place in a particular time, located in a particular place. They revolve around dilemmas and questions. Hey, this is beginning to sound familiar, isn't it? Could it be that Campion offers the most perfect mental preparation for anyone who wants to spin yarns and tell tales? The answer is, of course, a resounding yes. It resounds so much that I've received bear-hugs from noted screenwriters when I’ve mentioned what is studied at Campion, and was asked for scripts within a few weeks of being at AFTRS once people realized my background. I've listened to countless debates about the influence of Aristotle on moviemaking, and been involved in discussions over how important understanding religion, and religious expression and training, is for the new myth-makers of the media age. We even learned that Horror movies are all about Sin; and that as the most “pure” form of cinema, if you don't know how they work, you won't know how any movie work. Campion offers students a way to get to grips with the history, traditions and personalities of the West; it teaches the grand, wild, complex story of our civilization. For those who so wish, it is but a hop, skip and a jump from that story to the ones on the Silver Screen.

Michael Mendieta AlumniMichael M. - Business

Bachelor of Arts, in the Liberal Arts

I am currently finishing my Masters in Business Administration at the University of Newcastle. I also work in marketing, and continue to develop my business in media, focusing on the Liberal Arts. Campion’s smaller classes, studying under reputable PhDs, enhance the learning experience developing skills to think logically, write articulately and research effectively. These skills will serve my lifetime, both socially and professionally.

 

Olivia Meese AlumniOlivia M. - Medicine

Bachelor of Arts, in the Liberal Arts

I am currently studying medicine at the University of Notre Dame, Sydney. The Campion education enhanced my ability to think clearly and logically, to analyse and evaluate competing arguments so that I may make sound, ethical decisions with confidence. This priceless gift enables me to understand better the human body in all its complexity and will become an invaluable tool in my work as a doctor.

 

Jason C. - Philosophy

Bachelor of Arts, in the Liberal Arts

After graduating from Campion I am now studying Philosophy at University of Sydney and hope to eventually earn a Ph.D. The grounding which Campion gave me in Philosophy has helped immensely, but more importantly, the broad exposure to the traditional Liberal Arts has enabled me to see my current studies in a wider context and to “think outside the box”. Campion also helped sharpen my critical thinking skills in a way that has proven invaluable.
