Wearable Art

The Girls' Brigade provides a personal development programme for New Zealand girls and young women.

Its caring Christian environment encourages the development of each girl's unique, individual talents.  Girls Brigade equips girls and young women with the social, physical, intellectual and spiritual qualities necessary to take a vital role in our society.
