Creating an Education Campus
The Sydney Olympic Park Education Campus is a concept for a living, working, learning, leisure community in which student life and learning processes are part of the fabric of the community. Education and training will play a role in both defining and supporting residential and commercial developments at Sydney Olympic Park.
As the strategy is progressively implemented Sydney Olympic Park will become a centre for education and training. A new Education Campus model will be created featuring a diverse student and institutional base. Provision will be inextricably linked to the broader Australian community.

Our Vision
Our vision is to create a world class precinct for education in sport, health, arts and environmental sustainability.
A multi sector base is being developed covering school education, vocational education and training and higher education in these key areas of our Olympic Legacy.
Our Foundations
- Global recognition of the Sydney Olympic Park brand and an international reputation for excellence. These attributes provide an opportunity for education and training organisations to leverage provision and business opportunities nationally and internationally.
- Access to efficient transport systems, state of the art communications technology, centralised services, major recreational spaces and parklands, on site accommodation and social infrastructure.
- Low cost entry option for education providers seeking a campus style environment for their student base through existing infrastructure.
- Expanding education and training export markets in key areas such as sport and facilities management, renewable energy, water management and conservation.
- Expanding base of school excursions and developing programs involving a range of schools and other institutions.
- An ideal location for corporate training. In 2007 the Commonwealth Bank of Australia established an advanced learning and development centre for their staff.
