Burg Day 2026
Every year, at an hour no reasonable person would call acceptable, Burgmann wakes up and does something wonderfully strange.

Song for every season
Since arriving at Burgmann in November 2025, Principal Dr Brenda Holt has held a clear vision for the College's entrance foyer: a space of presence, welcoming every visitor and honouring the enduring cultures of Australia's First Peoples. That vision set in motion a remarkable journey encompassing the Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery in London and the traditional lands of the Kaantju and Umpila people in Cape York, and introduced Burgmann to Seven Flowers Ingkawa, a striking work by acclaimed artist Naomi Hobson.

Fifty Doors and Counting: The Story So Far
Every named door at Burgmann tells a story, of a resident's journey, a life transformed, of friendships formed under one roof. This year, thanks to the generosity of our community, over 50 doors have now been named through our Name My Door initiative, with twenty new names added during our 55 Set to Thrive appeal alone. Our goal is to name 100 doors in this milestone year, and we'd love your help to get there. Read on to find out how you or someone you know can be part of this growing legacy.
