Worawa Aboriginal College Debutante Dreaming (CANCELLED)

About
The 2025 Debutante Ball honours the 26 young Aboriginal women who made their debut at the first Aboriginal Debutante Ball held in 1949. At a time when conditions were harsh for Aboriginal people, Elders worked to create an all-Aboriginal Debutante Ball as a source of dignity and pride for young Aboriginal women.This became the basis for the Worawa Pathways to Womanhood Program which provides opportunities for young Aboriginal women to develop their self confidence and self-esteem while being proud of their Aboriginal heritage. The program is focused on building the resilience of the participants through emphasis on specific skills, experiences and activities that have been identified as important in developing strong young adults who are well-prepared to lead and live positive, productive, happy lives. The Pathways to Womanhood program culminates in Debutante Dreaming.
