Sancta Sophia College has been a home away from home for female undergraduate students in Sydney for close to 100 years. In 2024, we invite year 11 and 12 female students to join us for the 5th Annual Sancta Sleepover.
Come and see what it’s like to live at College as an undergraduate student in the heart of Sydney’s university precinct.
Registrations for the Sancta Sleepover 2024 will open in July 2024.

On the same weekend as the University of Sydney and Sancta Open Day, year 11 and 12 women have the chance to sleepover at Sancta. The Sancta Sleepover is in its fifth year in 2024 and provides young women considering Sancta the opportunity to meet other likeminded individuals. Attendees have the opportunity to experience life at College first-hand, and can partake in guided tours of their universities and faculties of interest with our student ambassadors.
