A modern-day version of Cinderella has played out at a regional Western Australian high school after it was inundated with clothing donations for students wishing to attend their school ball.More than 100 dresses have been donated to the school from around Western AustraliaThe fairy godmother in this story is Kambalda West District High School principal Candice Brown, who put the word out on social media to ensure every student could attend the "rite of passage".
A church from nearby Kalgoorlie donated 20 dresses, while an anonymous donor also contributed $500 to a Kalgoorlie fashion outlet for the students. "My own children are 21 and 22 and have dresses in the cupboard and I thought, 'Surely other people have dresses they don't wear?' She said the "closet" they were making would allow girls to borrow the dresses and bring them back so they could be cleaned.
