✨ What makes George Bartley stand out this week? ✨
George Bartley competed in the Bridge World U26 Youth Transnational Teams and the World U26 Youth Pairs Championships placing 4th.
1. Can you tell us about your experience? 🌍
Competing in the world championships was an amazing experience! It was so enjoyable to play against people from all over the world. The Aussie youth team is a fantastic group of people and being around them made it even more fun!
2. What strategies or preparations contributed to your success in the pairs final? 🧠
Mindset was key to performing so well, especially since European players have more opportunities to practice, as bridge is more popular there. Every day before play, I meditated and got in the zone, which really helped me stay focused and play well.
3. What was the most challenging aspect of the competition, and how did you and your team overcome it? 🏆
The most challenging part was adapting to playing in a different country. But I stayed with some family in Poland, which helped me acclimatise a lot!
4. How did you feel representing Australia on such a big stage, and what did it mean to you personally to be part of the under-26 team? 🇦🇺
It’s definitely a high-pressure environment, and it was stressful at times. Especially since our trip was fully paid for by the Australian Bridge Federation, and we were put up in a nice hotel. But ultimately, this pressure made me laser-focused, and it helped me perform even better!

On October 9th, Lincoln College welcomed back Dr Andrew and Dr Jane Smith, both distinguished anaesthetists, for a cuppa with our Head of College, Carolyn Mee.
Andrew, a resident from 1957-1963, undertook leadership roles but particularly reminisced about being part of the victorious rowing team and fostering a close-knit community at the college.
Andrew and Jane’s careers as anaesthetists took them around the world, enriching their lives with diverse experiences. During their visit, Andrew fondly reminisced about their 1975 wedding, which took place in what is now the administration area of the Milne Building—a moment that beautifully intertwines their personal journey with the college’s history. Andrew also spoke proudly of their two children, Robyn and Robert.
Andrew and Jane’s visit was a heartwarming reminder of the enduring bonds between Lincoln alumni and the college. The Smiths` connection to Lincoln lives on through two scholarships in their name, supporting countless students; their legacy of generosity and achievement set to inspire students for years to come.

✨ What makes Japheth Chua stand out this week? ✨
Japheth stands out this week for his motivations, challenges, and advice while studying abroad.
1. What motivated you to study abroad? ✈️
My family encouraged me as many had studied abroad before. I saw it as a chance to step outside my comfort zone, gain new experiences, and expand my perspective on life. I was keen on pursuing a career in Visual Effects and CGI, and Adelaide`s growing reputation as a visual effects hub motivated me even more.
2. What has been your biggest cultural adjustment since arriving? 🌏
One major adjustment was being more open to new experiences. I had to learn how to engage in small talk, attend social events and navigate public transport in a new place. Adapting to student life at college was also a big change. The absence of bidets in toilets was also a surprising adjustment.
3. Have you found any helpful resources or support systems for international students? 🤝
Staying connected with your family and friends back home is crucial - they are your support system. Also, you can seek support from your Resident Advisor or the friends you meet here. If needed, reaching out to university or college counselling services may also be helpful. Joining clubs or societies helps too - I`m part of the Adelaide University Malaysian Students Association, which has to meet new people and feel more connected.
4. What advice would you give to other international students thinking about studying abroad? 🌟
Be open-minded and embrace opportunities to step outside your comfort zone. Network, form lifelong friendships, focus on your career, maintain your health, and stay connected to family and friends. Explore your surroundings, whether it`s trying new restaurants, visiting tourist spots, or spending time at the local pub. Embrace new experiences, so you`ll have plenty of stories to share when you return home. Remember, while you`re here to study, you`re also here to grow. It may feel alienated or isolated at times but if you put yourself out there, things will get easier. Live in the moment—you`re doing this for yourself and your family, so make the most of it.

SHOUTOUT THURSDAY
✨ What makes Claire Macdonald stand out this week?
Claire is one of 22 medicine students at Lincoln College. She stands out this week for her insightful reflections on the rewards and challenges of medical placements and advice to new students considering studying Medicine.
1. What area of medicine are you thinking of getting into?🏥
I’m hoping to become a Rural Generalist once I graduate! It’s super appealing because you get to do a bit of everything: emergency, GP, and hospital-based work. You also get to pick a sub-specialty, so I’m hoping to do retrieval medicine and work in remote communities.
2. What have been the most rewarding and challenging aspects of your medicine placements?👩⚕️
The most rewarding aspects have been getting exposure to a range of specialties and assisting in surgeries. It feels like all the hard work is finally paying off! The challenging parts would definitely include having difficult conversations with patients and, of course, the long hours themselves.
3. What advice would you give to someone starting their first year in medicine?📚
Get involved in as much as you can! Medical school offers so many fun opportunities like MedRevue, AUMO, and specialist societies. You get to have unique experiences and form connections with people in other year levels, which is super helpful once you’re on placement.
4. How has it been living at College now for four years?🌟
I’ve loved living at college! It’s been amazing to meet so many people and have so many fun opportunities, like going to the NAUCC Conference in Brisbane in my second year!
Stay tuned for more inspiring stories every Thursday! 🔔

Lincoln College is a not-for-profit organisation working alongside several key institutions in South Australia.
We acknowledge this land that we meet on today is the traditional lands for the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country.
We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.
We also pay respects to the cultural authority of Aboriginal people visiting/attending from other areas of South Australia/Australia.
