St George College in South Australia holds 40-year Anniversary Gala

·

St George College in South Australia celebrated its 40th anniversary in grand style on Saturday, September 21 with a stunning gala event at Adelaide Oval. 

The evening was a tribute to the school’s remarkable journey, which began in 1984. The event reflected on the first day the Very Reverend Father Patsouris opened the doors to 27 students and their families, laying the foundation for what has become one of Adelaide’s leading educational institutions. 

Hosted by Matthew Pantelis and Stacey Lee, the elegant evening included music, dance, a special tribute video, a live auction and multiple raffle prizes.  

The event was graced by the presence of SA Premier Peter Malinauskas, Archbishop Makarios of Australia, and other Honourable dignitaries and distinguished guests, whose attendance elevated the evening. 

A special thank you went to the St George College families, staff, and community members for their hard work in organising this unforgettable event.

The entertainment throughout the evening was exceptional, starting with acoustic performances by Sundi Mantis and Angela Tripodi, who welcomed guests with beautiful music upon arrival. 

DJ Tommy kept the dance floor buzzing, while Chris Kontoleon, Harry Trikaliotis on the toumberleki, Tommy Tsonis on the bouzouki, Sam Christodoulidis on vocals, and Theo Skaltsas on the clarinet delivered mesmerising live performances. Their talents added an unforgettable atmosphere to the celebration.

Guests were also delighted by vibrant Greek and Serbian dance performances from St George College’s talented student dancers, bringing a cultural touch to the night’s festivities.

The college extended its heartfelt gratitude to the sponsors who contributed to the success of this event, helping make the 40th Anniversary Gala an evening to remember. Their generous support and the dedication of the community have ensured that the legacy of St George College continues to flourish.

This celebration marked a significant moment in the College’s history, while also serving as an opportunity to look forward to a bright and prosperous future for generations to come.
