As we celebrate Wilderness School's 140th anniversary in 2024, this will be one of the biggest nights on the social calendar for members of our wonderful School community. 

The Wilderness School Gala event will celebrate the School's journey, which began with the Misses Brown in 1884 and continues today. 

A perfectly chosen menu from the National Wine Centre chef will be paired with exceptional wine choices for a memorable evening at this iconic South Australian venue. 

The evening will be hosted by Australian Television Presenter and current parent Rosanna Mangiarelli, best known for anchoring Seven News. Special guests will include Dr Michael Petrucco, Chair of the Foundation, and Mrs Belinda Arnfield, Principal of Wilderness School. 

Guests will be welcomed to the sound of strings from the Wilderness School String Ensemble and, later in the evening, will be treated to a live performance by the Wilderness Old Scholars Jazz Choir led by Jo Tropeano. 

The opportunity will also be available to bid on some high-value money-can't-buy experiences in the Silent Auction, which will be available to guests at the event.
