St Patrick's Gala Ball

Swinging out for something 'a bit different,' St Patrick's College Annual Gala Ball 2016 was themed Jersey to Motown. A stage lit by the signature letters of the icon, Lovegrove Entertainment singers covered the musical era while the attendees laughed and danced and had a magnificent time.

Jersey to Motown Theme for 2016 Gala Ball

Treasury Wines launched the evening with a complimentary beverage for everyone. Class of 2009 Captain Tanya Dendrinos entered the stage with grace and beauty and guided the audience through an evening of fun. Tables decorated beautifully by the Gala Ball committee connected every guest to the era. Carefully selected entrees delighted the senses while some guests perused the Silent Auction Packages from everything from "Hire a Hubby" to "Spa Escapes" and then some. Every table had raffle tickets to purchase as well with fantastic prizes for the lucky dip winners. 

The committee, friends of St Patrick's and staff brought together great items donated by regional businesses appreciative of the value of the all girls' College in the community. The goal of the Gala Ball is to raise funds for scholarships so that students in need are able to attend the College. These students are never revealed but often contribute greatly to the life of the community. 

One of the highlights of the evening was Principal Sue Lennox's interview with the women of the Scott Family. Three generations of St Patrick's students took to the stage to share their memories and encouragement for the College in its 176th year of educating young people in the Macarthur area. 

 
The main courses delighted the senses and fueled hours of dancing and delight. Parents, friends, alumni, staff and community leaders enjoyed the evening as dessert and coffee were delivered. More dancing and fun led the festive crowd into the Catholic Club for even more reverie. A successful event, the St Patrick's College Gala Ball continues to resource education to girls of the Macarthur region. 

Thank you to the Gala Ball committee for their work and guidance to make such a wonderful evening happen: Peta Borg, Julie O'Keefe, Cath Power, Deb Renshaw, Marion Windle and Nina Henderson.
