Sancta Sophia College |
Sancta Sophia College is a distinctive residential college for undergraduate women and post-graduate men and women within the University of Sydney.
The College also welcomes those studying at other universities, and is set amid the picturesque and serene grounds of the University of Sydney. It comprises a notable sandstone building that forms an attractive, leafy quadrangle.
Sancta Sophia offers its students a rewarding academic experience and a variety of opportunities. It offers a network of support, advice and companionship. Students have every opportunity to participate in the formal and informal social and academic calendar of the College.
Sanctas students are currently studying at various universities, including the University of Sydney, the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), and the Australian Catholic University (ACU).
Sancta encourages all interested or prospective students to contact the College on (02) 9577 2100 to arrange a tour. Office hours are 8am-6pm, Monday-Friday.
Many notable citizens of The University of Sydney and Sydney have served as councillors: including Sir Mark Sheldon, Dame Constance DArcy, Chancellor Sir Charles McDonald, Mr Justice William Sheldon and Dr Dora Bye.
The link between the College and the Catholic Church is maintained by the role of Visitor (held by the Archbishop of Sydney), a role instituted in universities when the Church established the Universities. Three priests are members of the Council.
All councillors volunteer their service and bring their own professional expertise (academic, educational, pastoral, medical, legal, financial and managerial) to the wonderful work that the college achieves.
Many councillors have been students of the College and view the term of their service as an opportunity to return something to the college.
Students are represented on the Council and bring first hand accounts of College events to the attention of Councillors. Their presence at Council meetings gives them an insight into the issues of governance and administration which concern the Council.
