On Frida, 26 September, alumni from John XXIII College and Burgmann College gathered for a very special evening at Swinging Bridge Wines in Orange. Hosted by Head of College Jas Lincoln (Johns) and Director of Advancement Amelia Zaraftis (Burgmann), the event brought together ex-ressies from across the Central West to reconnect and share stories of college life.

It was an amazing spring evening among the vines, with the beautiful setting matched by excellent food and wine. Laughter, old friendships, and new connections filled the room, creating a warm and memorable atmosphere.

This gathering marks the start of something good – the first of what we hope will become a much-loved annual tradition of bringing the Johns and Burgmann communities together in the region. We’re already looking forward to hosting again next year and welcoming even more alumni to join us.
