On Saturday, 24 August 2024, Waverley College hosted the spectacular Blue and Gold Ball, bringing together over 700 parents, staff, Old Boys, sponsors, and supporters of our school community. What an incredible turnout!
Drinks and canapes from our wonderful caterers at Bold Food were enjoyed under the beautiful fig in Braidwood, followed by dinner, dancing and live auctions in the gym. The gym was dressed from top to toe, and guests were amazed at the impressive lighting by trusted suppliers at Crystal Productions.
We were lucky enough to have the event captured by some very talented photographers. You can view the Blue and Gold Ball gallery HERE and the Media Wall photos HERE.
A huge thanks must go to our amazing MC, Anthony ‘Harries’ Carroll and our incredible auctioneer, Emma Brown-Garrett who helped to ensure the night was a true success.
Congratulations to our live auction prize winner Leisha Major who bid to have the current parent, owner and head chef of Sugarcane Milan Strbac cook for 10 people at home. Thank you Daniella and Milan for your generous donation of this exceptional prize.
Remarkably, Clare Morahan was the recipient of not one, but both raffle items! The beautiful diamond and pearl earrings generously donated by Brett Courtenay, Chair of the Foundation AND the highly sought after 2025 tuition fees. What are the chances?!
The event would not have been so well received without the support of our major sponsors LJ Hooker, The Pop Team, Othoboutique, This is Africa, Penny’s Hotel, Bondi Gin Co, Ester Gin, and Neeson Murutt Neille Architects.
The feedback we have received has been incredibly positive—so many of you mentioned what a fantastic evening it was, how wonderful it was to connect with new parents, how impressive the gym looked, and how much you enjoyed the food and the band!
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our sponsors, contributors, and the endlessly supportive family and friends of our school community, we are thrilled to announce that the event successfully exceeded our initial target, raising a total of
$154,147
This achievement will make a significant impact as we strive towards the construction of a state-of-the-art Science and Innovation Centre – a transformative space for our students’ future.
