"It's been amazing; we've even had gorgeous gowns coming from Auckland."
Her plan to outfit all the girls had been a huge hit, she said, and the call was out there for smart shoes as well.
Hairdressers are coming into Hawera on ball day so none of the girls miss out on a hairdo.
"Even local makeup artists have volunteered their time, and several locals are offering their cars to drive the girls to the ball in style."
So far the number of students who will be helped is between 10 and 15, she said.
Rocky said she'd always known the town had families on the breadline and struggling to survive.
"It's real, I've seen it, and I want to help. And the number of people who have stepped forward to help is wonderful."
The Year 13 dean of the school was thrilled, Rocky said.
"She thought it was a fabulous idea because for some parents the $60 ball tickets were out of the question, much less the outfit, hair, etc.
"The school are giving us some tickets so these kids can get to the ball looking gorgeous and will have the best time."
Already known as the "lunch angel", Rocky said doing things for kids was very special to her.
"I remember when my daughter went to the school ball, it was an incredible expense."
She says the day of the ball will be so exciting.
"We've hired Tairoa Cottage, which is absolutely beautiful. It's part of Tairoa Lodge, one of Hawera's oldest standing residences.
"We will all be at the cottage and have a lovely lunch, which Kai Kitchen will take care of, then an afternoon tea will be provided by the lodge.
"It will be an exciting day for all of us."
