Save the Date: Golden Girls’ Luncheon 2025
We are delighted to announce that the much-loved Golden Girls’ Luncheon will return this year. Please mark your calendars for Saturday 8 November 2025 and join us for what promises to be another memorable and heartwarming celebration.
This cherished event is a highlight of our alumni calendar, offering the perfect opportunity to reconnect with fellow Old Girls and celebrate your special place in the history of Santa Maria College.
Enjoy a relaxed and elegant two-course luncheon surrounded by fellow alumni in the beautiful Community Room in the Mercy Building.
This year, the event has been moved to a Saturday to ensure easier access and convenience for guests. Parking on campus is currently limited during the week due to construction works for the Cultural Centre.
Formal invitations will be sent out soon, but we encourage you to save the date now and share it with your Golden Girls network.
