A Fairy Godmother has waved her wand and helped seven students to get to this weekend's Te Puke High School ball.
A relative newcomer to Te Puke, Jennifer Locke brought with her the will to help students.
''We were living in Taranaki and I was helping out the Cinderella Ball,'' she says.
The trust behind Cinderella Ball in Hawera was helping 10 students get to the school ball, ensuring they had tickets, their hair and make-up was done and that they had a limo to get them to the venue.
''I was part of that for two years and loved it - it was amazing and it left a mark on my heart.
