Cooking For A Cause
This week, students from Toolooa State High School were engaged in school-based volunteering, where they prepared baked goods for Evenglow's fortnightly social connection events.
The students were guided by a professional cake decorator and baker, who volunteered her time for this project. Next week, they will be baking more goods for Softly Helping You Inc..
The aim of the ‘Cooking for a Cause’ program is to engage students in volunteering and help develop and improve their social and emotional skills and build their self-confidence.
Evenglow were extremely appreciative of the delicious scones and were thrilled to know that high school students baked them!
NRG Gladstone Operating Services donated $500 towards the ‘Cooking for a Cause’ program!

She has worked hard to achieve a speed and accuracy rating greater than the set parameters of the course. We applaud Ruby for her efforts and are so proud of her improvements. Ruby was presented with an award on year 7/8 parade in front of her peers.
