Students Get Pretty In Pink At St Colman's Catholic School Debutante Ball

On May 11, six debutantes and their partners were introduced into society with their family and friends present at the St Colman’s Catholic School Debutante Ball.  
The theme was Pretty in Pink, and the girls and their partners showcased their dancing skills learnt over the previous seven weeks.  
The night started at St Colman's Catholic Church with a small blessing to the debs and partners with their parents present.  
It was a lovely way to start the night before heading over to the hall with 370 people in attendance and dinner provided by Howie's Catering.  
The first dance of the night was the short partner dance and then the debutantes were presented to Parish Priest Father Manoj and Burdekin Major Pierina Dalle Cort.  
After the official presentations and photos, Addison MacDonald and her Partner David Kelly were announced to cut the Cake.  
The second partner dance was then presented followed by the girls dance and to finish off the night, the boys wooed the crowd with their dancing and acrobatics.  
“We had a fantastic group of kids, and we really had a great time at practices,” said Shalon Gibson of St Colman’s Catholic School.
“I think everyone is going to miss Sunday night practices!  
“The night would not have been possible without a great committee and the help of St Colman's Catholic School Parents and Staff who all helped before and on the night of the ball.”  
Thanks was also shared with Home Hill Engineering, Dominiques, The Flower Effect and Howie's for donations of items for the event.  
“To the debs and their families, we hope that you all really enjoyed the night and it will be fondly remembered for years to come,” Ms Gibson concluded.
