Forbes Debutantes raise valuable funds
After months of planning, fundraising and dance lessons eight gorgeous young ladies and their equally handsome partners impressed and delighted their invited guests at their debutante ball.
The group consisting of Charlotte Doyle and Tom Marsden, Matilda Townsend and Oliver Walker, Adelaide Langham and Brock Maynard, Stephaine and Thomas Vonthien, Phoebe Walker and Tom Hosie, Hydee Fairley and Jesse Flick, Belle Hartwig and Eli Brown, Chloe Little and Eamonn Ryan were presented to Mrs Tara Morrison, Forbes High School Year 11 Year Advisor and PDHPE teacher.
The group were accompanied by flower girls Alirah and Evie Doyle.
The nervous duos performed their feature dance to “I’ll Be There” by Foster which was choreographed by Miss Emily Jack.
The young ladies looked spectacular in their exquisite gowns and the young gents wore smart single breasted navy suits, crisp white shirts, tan shoes and pale pink accessories which matched the soft pastel colour theme for the evening.
The beautiful cake was lovingly made by Jade Acheson, mother of Belle Hartwig.
Traditionally, debutante balls were formal occasions where young ladies were presented to society after learning manners and etiquette customary of the time.
Modern debutante balls still teach participants social skills but are an opportunity to raise valuable funds for charities and organisations.
The tireless efforts of each and every one of the debutantes and their partners, cooking barbeques, selling raffle tickets and more were justified with a profit of $2220 being raised from the event which will directly benefit Forbes Can Assist.
