Tyler BrownJoondalup Times

MATER Dei College in Edgewater held its 2017 school ball at Pan Pacific Perth on January 28.

Before heading to the ballroom, the school hosted a pre-ball event in the gym for family, friends and staff to see the students in all their “glamour and glitz”.

Year 12 co-ordinator Chris Gray said more than 150 guests were welcomed to the event with a mocktail before the official opening.

“The evening meals consisted of a wonderful buffet, which was showing a delightful array of hot and cold selections, followed by a banquet dessert bar,” he said. “There was dancing to the resident DJ, a photographer to take personalised studio shots and a mobile photo booth for instant memories on the evening.

“It was a wonderful evening that was enjoyed by all, with numerous comments made about how sore their feet were with the heels and dancing the night away in the company of their friends, peers and the college staff.”
