Held at the GV Hotel, the couples were presented to St Brendan’s parish priest Father Joe Taylor and Notre Dame College principal John Cortese.
A large number of family and friends attended the ball and a lovely evening was enjoyed by many as it was the first time a lot of people had been able to catch up and enjoy a meal and happy occasion due to lockdowns and restrictions.
The debutantes and their partners danced three formal dances and then took part in a "special person dance" which was the highlight of the night.
There was lots of laughter and tears during this dance.
The night was a fundraiser for St Brendan’s Church and, through the support of Notre Dame College staff, a profit of more than $3000 was raised.
