The college has a Catholic foundation but admits students of any religion. Fiona Hastings has been the Principal of the College since 2018.[1] HistoryFoundation{{stack|}}In 1923, the Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, Michael Kelly, and the Bishops of New South Wales issued a letter in support of university education for the Catholic community and announced the construction of a Catholic hall of residence for women. This was a result of social and educational changes which facilitated higher education for women. Sancta Sophia College was founded in 1925 as a hall of residence for Catholic women. The first cohort of 23 women moved into the college on 15 March, 1926. In 1929, an Act of Parliament raised the hall to the status of a College within the University of Sydney.[2] ExpansionThe college was expanded throughout its history including the East Wing and kitchen in 1961, the Octagon building in 1963, the McDonald Wing in 1970, the Vice-Principal's flat in 1990, and the Principal's flat in 1993. The College officially opened the Sancta Sophia Graduate House (often referred to as Grad House) in March 2014 by Governor, Her Excellency Marie Bashir and blessed by Cardinal George Pell. This was the largest single expansion in the College's history. The Graduate House offers purpose-built facilities with 128 modern ensuite rooms. Each room has a microwave and mini fridge, whilst the common areas have full kitchens. Outdoor living comprises a rooftop terrace and BBQ lounge area. Every resident has meals fully catered for and served in a common dining hall with undergraduates.[2] Student LifeAcademicBeing a University College, academia is the main focus of Sancta Sophia College. A program of organised tutorials exists for undergraduate students. These are organised within the College and undergraduate students can also attend tutorials at the other colleges. In recent years, the tutorial program has extended to support postgraduate students, particularly in medicine. The Chancellor's Dinner is an auspicious annual event at which the College community recognises the academic excellence of College scholars of high achievement and prizes are awarded. CulturalSancta competes against other University of Sydney residential colleges in the InterCol Performing Arts Challenge (also known as the Palladian Cup). The Palladian Cup runs year-round and features solo vocal, ensemble vocal, solo instrumental, ensemble instrumental, oration, debating, solo drama, ensemble drama, dance, and art. SportingSancta competes in the Sydney University Intercollegiate sporting events, which is the Rosebowl Cup for women and Rawson Cup for men. The Rosebowl Cup events take place throughout the year and include netball, swimming, rowing, hockey, soccer, basketball, tennis, and athletics. Due to the relatively small cohort of men, Sancta only competes in three Rawson Cup events: swimming, rowing, and athletics. Other TraditionsOn an undisclosed night each year, postgraduate and some senior undergraduate students combine to play childhood games such as hide-and-seek, sardines, stuck in the mud, and 44 homes. By tradition, the childhood games are played exclusively within the undergraduate building. The games have been played in every year since 1989 and runs for about two hours. College GovernanceCouncil and PrincipalThe Council of the College consists of the chairman, the Principal and 14 other Councillors, of whom 3 must be priests.[3] The Council is responsible for governance of the College. The Principal is responsible for the management of the College. Student CommitteesAll undergraduate students of the College are members of the Sancta Sophia Students' Club. The Students' Club is run by a student-elected House Committee. The House Committee is responsible for planning activities on behalf of the undergraduate students. It is also responsible for liaising with the other colleges and carrying out general activities and business of the Students' Club. The members of the House Committee convene each week to discuss student matters of the College. All postgraduate students of the College are members of the Senior Common Room, which is run by the elected Executive.
