Cocktail party

A GRAND EVENING WITH THE Governor of Tasmania

On Thursday 10 May members of the St Mary’s College community descended on Government House for a special reception hosted by Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner AC.

One hundred and fourteen invited guests attended the glittering cocktail party – including staff members, parents and alumni of the College and other dignitaries – which acknowledged St Mary’s long and generous contribution to the greater Hobart community. The magnificent surrounds of the ballroom provided the perfect backdrop for attendees to connect and mingle with one another as they escaped the evening’s torrential rain and fierce winds.

In her Principal’s address, Helen Spencer thanked her Excellency and her husband, Mr Richard Warner, for their warm hospitality, their ongoing support of St Mary’s College and for helping the College celebrate a sesquicentenary of educating young boys and girls in the Presentation tradition.

More than 100 guests filled Government House for the 150th Anniversary Cocktail Party in May. Top right (inset): Principal Helen Spencer and Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner AC.
