Excelsia University College opened the doors of its brand new Pennant Hills campus for its 2025 Open Day. The event brought together prospective students, families, staff, and alumni for a day of exploration, connection, and inspiration.

Guests had the chance to tour the purpose built facilities, took part in interactive masterclasses across Music, Dramatic Art, Screen Production and Counselling, and met the academic and support staff who guided them through their studies. The day also featured live entertainment, student performances, and plenty of opportunities to connect. 

Excelsia University College CEO, Peter McKeon, highlighted the significance of the day, “this Open Day was not only about showcasing our new campus, but about inviting students to see how Excelsia can be a place where they grow academically, professionally, and personally. It was wonderful to welcome prospective students into our creative spaces. Seeing them participate in workshops and imagine their future here was a real highlight”. 

The Open Day marked an exciting new chapter for Excelsia University College as we continue to build a vibrant, purpose driven community at Pennant Hills. We look forward to welcoming our next cohort of students in 2025 and 2026.

Orientation Week 2025– the new campus also held an orientation week and introduced students to life at Excelsia through a mix of course briefings, campus tours, student support sessions, and social activities.
