First Tasmanian enters Campion College F
or the first time a Tasmanian student has been accepted into Campion College Australia, the prestigious Catholic Liberal Arts College in Sydney. Dylan Littler, from Hobart, a recent convert to Catholicism, has met all the selection criteria and is looking forward to starting work on his Bachelor of Arts degree in the Liberal Arts. Dylan has been awarded a scholarship, which was established exclusively for Tasmanian students to assist them in coming to Campion. Asked what attracted him to Campion, Dylan was enthusiastic in his reply: “I can trust the Truth of an education that has been tested over centuries. The foundational elements of the study of humanities – History and Literature, Philosophy and Theology – were developed by the Greeks and Romans and subsequently
built upon by Christian scholars,” Dylan explained. “It is only in the knowledge of these studies that a complete synthesis of the Truth can be discovered. It is this opportunity that attracts me to Campion.” There are many options that Dylan can access after he graduates but at this time Dylan is contemplating entering the Priesthood: “I would like to become a Dominican and have the opportunity to preach. I imagine that the preparation in Philosophy and Theology that I will receive at Campion will actually contribute to my studies in the seminary.” However, he also feels that Campion will allow him to keep his options open. “I shall have three years at Campion to consider a vocation, at the same time as gaining a broad education that will serve me well regardless of
“I can trust the Truth of an education that has been tested over centuries.”
“I award you the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Liberal Arts, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”
the choices I may make in the future. I could readily consider Law or Journalism. This is an amazing opportunity for me and I can’t wait to start studying!” Campion College is entering its sixth year of operation and graduates have gone on to studies and work in law, medicine, teaching, journalism and other professional vocations.
