The Debutante Ball 2022

On Friday, 20 May, the Year 11 cohort of 2022 were celebrated in a memorable night at Curzon Hall, Marsfield.

Looking resplendent, the students performed their rehearsed dances in front of family, friends and staff, and a great night was had by all.

Not only is this night entrenched in St Paul’s Grammar School history, but this year’s Debutante Ball was also an opportunity for students, staff, and the community to come together in a way that had been dearly missed in the past few years.

In their final year of school, these students will need to come together to support one another in what will inevitably be a challenging yet rewarding time. The Guests of Honour, alumni Campbell and Sarah Barnes, echoed this in their speech on the night. Campbell and Sarah both graduated from St Paul’s in 2014 and were married in 2018 by the much-loved and past school chaplain, James Grady.

The Debutante Ball was an authentic opportunity for the students to celebrate friendships through dancing, fun, community spirit and excellent food. Memories were formed that will certainly last a lifetime.
