All five highschools in Nelson, Stoke and Richmond have banded together through their Enviro Clubs to present the Nelson Ball Op-Shop!
Student representatives from Waimea College, Garin College, Nayland College, Nelson College and Nelson College for Girls are working with a number of op shops to present a selection of dresses, suits, and accessories ahead of the annual School Ball season.
This initiative aims to reduce costs for students attending their school balls as well as encouraging reusing and repurposing clothes to reduce landfills.
All proceeds will go to Brook Waimārama Sanctuary and Natureland Wildlife Trust.
