Task: Make cookies and
biscuits for distribution to the homeless. These will be decoratively packaged
and given to people who may not otherwise receive a Christmas gift.
The Food Technology classroom was full of cookies because
students from Years Seven to Nine were busy baking and decorating cookies for
the organisation Hawkesbury Helping Hands. This organisation sends cookies to homeless
people who are living in poverty.
About twenty students
are involved in baking, decorating and packaging the cookies. We interviewed two students and they both said that they
were very happy to be baking cookies for a good cause.
One of the
students we interviewed felt very happy that he could spend his three service
days cooking for a great organisation and such a worthy cause.
A volunteer from Hawkesbury helping Hands came
into the College to speak about the organisation and how participating in
service can have a positive impact on many people. We think this a great way to
show kindness towards less fortunate people.
