An Invitation

Welcome to the amazing place that is John XXIII. My name is Janet and I am the President of the John XXIII College Resident’s Association. The RA is an independent association within the college, with a Committee that consists of 14 elected members, with each member holding a different portfolio. The Committee is in charge of organising and encouraging all of the sporting, cultural and social events that Johns Ressies are involved in. In short, we are in charge of most of the fun stuff that you will be exposed to if you come to Johns and are largely responsible for the amazing college spirit that resides here.

The RA hosts events throughout the year including:

• The Annual College Ball
• Interhall Sports Shield
• Interhall Arts Shield
• Multicultural Week
• Annual College Play
• Tavern Nights
• Out The Back Days
• The Publishing of the Annual Magazine – Pontifex
• Parents Weekend including the Charity Auction

As an elected Committee the RA is also representative of the student body, and as such we are active in all aspects of college life, making sure that your time here at Johns is as enjoyable as it can be. The thing that separates Johns from the rest is our infectious Johns spirit. It is a spirit that unites the college ensuring that our success is not only measured by the number trophies in our cabinet but also by the way that we support one another, look after each other and encourage one another to excel in whatever it is you choose. It is this spirit that is the envy of all other colleges and halls.

Coming to university and to college is the beginning of a new stage in your life. I would like to encourage you all to come to Johns, it really is a great place, but more then that, it has a great community with great people and plenty of college spirit, that helps us to be the premier college on the ANU campus.

Hope to see you soon,
Janet
2008 President of the John XXIII College Residents Assoc Inc.
