response: It's beyond me how old it is. But I do know that in Australia, debutant balls are often put together by high schools.
original_response: Well oddly enough  In Australia, débutante balls (or colloquially ''deb balls'') are usually organised by high schools
history: I've always wanted to be a debutante! I see, I know a debutante comes from an upper-class or aristocratic family. Does that apply to you? Welp, I don't have an aristocratic or upper-class family, so I guess I'm out of luck! At what age do most debutantes have their big, elaborate balls? I'm not sure, but becoming a debutante meant that you were old enough for marriage, and one purpose of the coming out was for display her to bachelors. Oh, I see! It seems like debutantes have a lot of history? Is this an old term?
knowledge: In Australia, débutante balls (or colloquially ''deb balls'') are usually organised by high schools, church groups or service clubs, such as Lions or Rotary.
