Students give back to community

The Community Engagement Program was designed by Malanda High to get Grade 12 students into the community as a way to give back before leaving school. 

Head of Education Services Selena Harding believes the program will help increase the teenagers’ community skills and will benefit them as they develop into adulthood. 

“The purpose of this is to support the Grade 12 students in working with a wider community of people and organisations, while also learning how to design, implement and operate these programs themselves,” she said. 

Senior students have helped cleaned up people’s yards as a way to give back to the community through their Community Engagement Program.

“We are training them to be active citizens in the 21st Century” 

Working alongside Malanda State School and ECHO, students have engaged in several activities that have benefitted the community around them.

Cleaning windows with ECHO Malanda is one of the activities that Grade 12 students are participating in to give back to the Malanda Community.
