Business Lunch
9 September 2025
The recent St Bernard’s College Business Lunch brought together old collegians and community members for an afternoon of connection, reflection, and inspiration. The College proudly welcomed back members of the Class of 1986, who shared their experiences and insights in a lively and thought-provoking panel discussion.
Guided by Patrick Saundry, Commercial Director at Affinda, the panel featured three accomplished alumni: Agostino Giramondo, Managing Director of News Corp Victoria/Tasmania; Tony Kofkin, Director of Kofkin Bond & Co; and Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Kyle Tyrrell, Founder and Mental Performance Coach at Tier1 Human Performance.
Each speaker reflected candidly on their journey since leaving St Bernard’s, touching on themes such as Life Right After School, Career Pivots, Daily Habits and Performance, Challenges and Resilience, Leadership and Community Values, and What I Wish I Knew Then. The conversation highlighted the power of adaptability, perseverance, and leadership grounded in service to others.
It was truly an honour and deeply inspiring to listen to Agostino, Tony and Kyle’s stories and advice, which resonated strongly with all in attendance. The event once again showcased the enduring bonds of the St Bernard’s community and the shared values that continue to guide its alumni long after graduation.
