On a delightful Gold Coast Winter’s afternoon, 120 ladies from the Aquinas College community came together at the stunning Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort for the sold-out AQ Ladies High Cheese, Cocktails & Conversations event.

This celebration of friendships and local talent featured an exquisite selection of artisanal cheeses, gourmet bites, and signature cocktails, all while guests enjoyed live entertainment and inspiring conversations.
Special guest speakers and Aquinas College alumni, Joanne Rahn, entrepreneur and founder of Zanthii Communications, and Dr. Claire Madden, Head Veterinarian at Village Roadshow Theme Parks shared their incredible journeys, highlighting their contributions to business, wildlife conservation, and philanthropy. Their stories resonated with attendees, sparking motivation and connection among the audience.
Hosted by the vibrant Jonelle McKenzie, aka Nelly from Triple M Gold Coast, the afternoon was filled with laughter, inspiration, and a sense of community.

Special thanks to Rachel Castles, AQ’s Marketing and Engagements Officer, for orchestrating such a memorable event.

Fromage & Friendships was more than just an event—it was a celebration of the remarkable people who enrich Aquinas College and its extended family, and with AQ looking forward to building on this wonderful foundation and welcoming even more faces next year.
