A celebrated tradition across the region, the annual Ingham Catholic Debutante Ball will make its return in 2025 on the evening of Saturday 31 May at the Hinchinbrook Shire Hall in the presence of the Bishop of Townsville, Bishop Timothy Harris.
The Ingham Catholic Debutante Ball stands as the only remaining debutante ball in the Hinchinbrook area and exists as a wonderful celebration of young ladies in Year 11 of any denomination or school to make their official debut.
With a rich history in the region, the ball provides both debutants and their families with the opportunity to uphold generations of tradition through learning classic dances and celebrating community spirit.
As organised by Gilroy Santa Maria College, all interested students are encouraged to pre-register by emailing c58.cathdeb@gilroysm.catholic.edu.au to stay informed on all updates and upcoming news.
2025 debutants are kindly asked to provide their name, parent’s or guardian’s name, mobile number and email address when pre-registering and to join the Facebook page titled 2025 Ingham Catholic Debutante Ball.
An information evening will be held on Sunday 9 February 2025 at Mercy Hall on Abbott Street, Ingham with dance rehearsals set to be held each Monday night in preparation for the May event.
The Gilroy Santa Maria College hopes to host another wonderful debutante ball in 2025, to continue celebrating and upholding the traditions of the Hinchinbrook community.
