Project School Formal was established in 2015 by two Toowoomba Hairdressing Salon Owners, Gay Hold and Paula Lucas. For many years they heard the stories of families who simply could not afford to purchase new outfits for sons and daughters to attend their high school graduation. Often students, living independently away from home would also share that whilst it was a celebration to be finishing Year 12, they couldn’t possibly see a way for them to celebrate this milestone with their classmates. It was just too expensive! Several years on the Project is managed and run by a group of committed volunteers and has gone from strength to strength supplying items, still free of charge, to schools and communities far and wide. Since its inception, Project School Formal has supported hundreds of school leavers to create magical memories. It has a good name in the community and a growing digital presence. The Base Services INC. is in working partnership with Project School Formal.
