Guyra Evening CWA collaborated with Guyra Central School earlier this term, following a generous donation of formal dresses from Sorbet & Co (Tash Archibald) in Glen Innes.
The Guyra CWA Evening Branch decided to utilise this donation for a community project. This initiative offered Guyra Central School senior students the chance to choose beautiful formal gowns at no expense.
On Friday August 23rd, ‘The Wardrobe Project’ was initiated as Ms. Mary Hillingworth and Mrs. Christine Gellie from the Guyra CWA Evening Branch visited Guyra Central School.
The senior girls were able to try on the elegant gowns and select their favourites to take home, all free of charge. The event was a tremendous success and was enjoyed by all who attended.
‘The Wardrobe Project’ will now become a permanent feature at Guyra Central School, allowing girls to pick outfits for various occasions. Additional donations received by the Guyra CWA Evening Branch will be delivered to the school on Wednesday, August 28.
The Wardrobe Project event marked the beginning of a positive relationship between the Guyra CWA Evening Branch and Guyra Central School.
There are discussions about the potential establishment of a junior CWA at the school and the provision of other essentials such as Dignity Bags.
A special thank you to Guyra CWA Evening Branch and Sorbet & Co (Glen Innes) for offering this incredible opportunity to our students. We are excited about continuing ‘The Wardrobe Project’ as an ongoing service at our school.
