The final and much anticipated formal event of the year. An evening of celebration, cherished memories, farewell speeches, and awards. We bid a fond farewell to our non-returning students and wished them much success for the future. We were delighted to welcome back ex-ressie Casey White, Archie Grainger, and Samuel Barrett whose presence added a special touch to the night. Our outgoing RSO’s, Charlie Sengupta and Dan McNamarra’s were recognised for their contribution to the Johns community in 2024. They will be missed. Congratulations to the following awardees: Zac Chadwick: College Supports of the Year, the John Stanhope Award Gemma Chittendon: Collegian of the Year, the Spirit of Johns Award Jasmine Wilks: the Infinity Medal, the White Family Award Archie Grainger: Ex Ressie Contributor to the College
A few tears were shed as we said our final goodbyes to our 3rd year students at the Mosaic Room, Ovolo Nishi on Friday 22 November. The farewell speeches highlighted cherished memories and milestones, and while their presence will be deeply missed around the College, we look forward to welcoming them back in the future as part of our ex-ressie community.
The annual Sport, Art and Culture Dinner, a celebration of our students’ talent and achievement was held on Tuesday 19 November. Congratulations to all nominees and awardees – their hard work, hours of training and creativity helped to shape and define what our Johns community is all about. A special mention to the following awardees: Miles McKeon: Cultural Person of the Year, the Files Pickford Award Laura Penning: Sports Woman of the Year Oliver Davey: Sports Man of the Year
Rekindled Friendships. Heartfelt Memories.
Our inaugural Men We Admire and Significant Others event was an outstanding success. An amazing opportunity to connect, celebrate and be inspired by the remarkable men and mentors to our students. We had the honour of hearing from ex ressie Simon Hunter who shared his experiences of living at Johns, meeting his wife Gaby, and why his son Hamish opted to call Johns his ‘’home away from home’’. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and made this event unforgettable.
Memories. Friendship. Nostalgia...
