Upcoming Events Graduation Ball 2017 For over 60 years, the Old Girls' Association has been delighted to host a Ball to welcome our newest members. It has traditionally been a memorable occasion that marks the transition from school days to the wonderful world of opportunities our girls are ready to encounter. The first graduates were celebrated at a Debutante Ball where they were formally welcomed to the Old Girls’ Association, curtsied to the assembled guests and danced the traditional debutante waltz composed by Paddy Walker. Classes on deportment and etiquette were held prior to the Debutante Ball. Today, the Graduation Ball is a more contemporary evening and most attend with family and friends. There are no lessons held prior but the girls are ceremoniously welcomed (in their sophisticated attire) and a formal dinner and entertainment is enjoyed by all. We encourage you to join us for this night to celebrate their future and cement the strength of Old Girl relationships. This year the Graduation Ball hosted by the Old Girls’ Association is being held at the Sky City Convention Centre on Friday 8 December at 6.45pm (graduates and presenter are asked to arrive no later than 7.00pm). The graduates will be provided with more details in August (including booking requirements).
