Board Member and Alumni Michael

I came to John XXIII College in 1978 as a student of ANU Arts and Law. I had come from an all-boys school in Sydney and loved the co-ed relaxed post adolescence environment of Johns. During my 4 years at the College, I was Bar Manager, College President and a member of the Junior Commons Room Association. The skills that I gained in organisation, financial management and student advocacy were really liberating for me. It is fair to say that John XXIII College was very different in the late 70’s to what it is today. This is progress.

My time at Johns was one of respectful relations, a relaxed environment, and a place where firm friendships were forever forged. The opportunity to meet people from all over the country was a rich experience for this Sydney boy.
