QTU helps girls in remote areas enjoy their big night

The QTU’s Women Teachers and Girls Education Committee (WTGEC) has launched Girlz ‘n Frox, a new initiative which aims to connect senior girls living in isolated and remote communities with pre-loved and donated formal wear.

Senior students from remote and isolated schools will, through a coordinating member, be able to preview items on a closed Facebook group (visit www.facebook.com/groups/girlznfrox/ and ask to join the group). The formal wear will then be sent to the coordinating teacher at the school.

QTU members with quality, clean, pre-loved and suitable formal wear can donate via their local Organiser, by dropping formal wear into the QTU’s regional offices or by mailing directly to the QTU building in Milton in Brisbane.
