"Every year the CWA gives a donation to each school for their end of year awards," CWA member Margaret Clunne said.
"This year we were able to give $500 because we earned a bit of money."
The donations are given in honour of the memory of lifelong member of the branch, Edna Stack.
The purpose of the morning tea is for students to present their final works to CWA members.
According to Ms Clunne, Portland Central and St Joseph's Schools enter 'the country of study' regularly.
"They always take a great deal of interest in it and there is money to be earned by good presentations. Portland is quite successful," Ms Clunne said.

"We are a very early branch, we are 1932," Ms Clunne said.
