A gala ball to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Greek Orthodox Community of Oakleigh and District, as well as the 40th anniversary of Oakleigh Grammar, has sold out in record time.

In less than 30 minutes, tickets were gone for the upcoming gala ball, which is touted as the keystone event out of a series planned throughout the year to mark the dual anniversaries.

In a statement to the school community, Oakleigh Grammar’s School Board Chair, Chris Damatopoulous said “The Oakleigh Grammar Board of Management, together with Principal Mark Robertson, are delighted to announce that the Bank of Sydney has kindly joined us as the major sponsor of our 2023 Gala Ball.”

Mr Damatopoulous expressed thanks on behalf of the community and school for the “generosity of Miltos Michaelas and Sam Pletsias from the Bank of Sydney, for their support in helping us mark the 60th anniversary of our community and 40th anniversary of our treasured Oakleigh Grammar.”

“We eagerly look forward forward with great excitement to a celebratory night in honour of a grand community and Oakleigh Grammar on 27 May 2023. With an unprecedented sell-out, we thank your Parents Association, and the entire Oakleigh community for your support.”

And concluded by welcoming potential sponsors and members of the community to lend their support to future community and school events schedules for their milestone year in 2023.
