County Champions (3rd time for these boys) and 4th win of the week. They also, remarkably, go unbeaten for the season. The first u16 side ever (we think!). Either way they’ve been exceptional all year. 👏👏
This week our theme is walking with others inspired by the ‘Road to Emmaus’. On Saturday we will be thinking of students we have lost to cancer, Mohammed (far left) with with Steven Gerrard and Jack with Cesc Fabregas as we add to the £150000 raised for

Great morning of rugby vs John Fisher. 1st team with a victory and year 8 maintained their unbeaten record with a draw! Senior boys have also qualified for the National Schools Cross Country final!!
Well done to all our year 11s today. Great to see so many of you. Denis was our highest performing student with straight 9s 👏👏 We look forward to seeing so many of you on Tuesday 5th!
Well done to all of our wonderful year 13 students on your amazing results today. Good luck with the next steps of your journey and welcome to the Campion Alumni!
Well done to these boys - 3rd is our best finish ever. Brilliant performances after hours of hard-work on the field. 🥉nationally is an astonishingly good result. 👏👏
A wonderful way to end a long season!
Our Junior Boys’ have done themselves, and the School proud, earning the school its first ever podium finish at the ESAA National Track & Field Cup final, placing 3rd in the country in an incredibly close final. Great shift from the boys!
This weekend Joe Cassettari participated in the English Open Championships in Ipswich. He won a gold medal and is ranked number 1 England for Over 55kg minors.
He was presented his medal by Olympian and commonwealth champion Ashley McKenzie
A truly amazing day. Our wonderful host Xavier College beat our second team 10-6 defending their line heroically for the last 20 minutes of the game. The 1st team played an incredibly talented Victoria State. We prevailed 22-17z Undoubtably one of our greatest touring victories.
We are immensely proud of the hardworking attitude of all these students that has resulted in a school and county first. They’ve won four out of four. Year 9, 10, 11 and 12/13 County Champions Teams. 👏👏
The U14s played tonight against a fabulous Robert Clack side. Two equal teams produced the proverbial game of 2 halves; both sides missing golden opportunities to seal victory. The game ended with Campion 7-5 victors, and County champions 🔴⚫️
The hall is set for our mass to start the school year. We welcome our new students and staff. We are grateful for the support of Fr Matthew and Fr Dominic as they celebrate mass with us today.
Great to meet with the Hit the Road team and

If you see him, please congratulate him on his achievement.
The Australia 24 party landed in Melbourne (bit colder than Perth!) and arrived at the amazing Xavier College. Looking forward to tomorrow’s game. We are immensely grateful to our hosts.
Western Australia proved too strong for both teams today but a tremendous effort by all played in great spirit. Our thanks to our hosts Wests Scarborough Rugby Union Club.
See our Facebook page for more pictures but here are a selection from Rome2024. Today including St Paul’s, The Room of St Ignatius, The Colosseum and much more. The boys, as ever, a credit to the whole community
Two more great games. 2s turned round 14-7 down before our friends at St Ignatius Riverview pulled away. The first team produced another strong defensive performance to win 17-7.
Yesterday our National Athletics teams performed in the Regional A Final. The year 7/8 are ranked 3rd in the country and go to the national final in Chelmsford. Our 9/10 despite ranking 8th sadly go out. Great effort from all!
450 students raised nearly £1500 for CAFOD by having a soup lunch today. 7 students plus Mr Scott (who gave his ticket away!) enjoyed a 3 course meal served by our new school officials.
Two exceptionally good games against our friends The King's School, Parramatta as the 2s go down by 19-17 and the first team win 29-28. We are again indebted to our hosts for their hospitality.
All year groups through Christmas lunch today! Lovely atmosphere and very grateful for the hard work of the catering team (despite being slowed down by the senior staff!)
