Preparing the way for 2015 Hervey Bay Special School students will get to enjoy a beautiful sensory garden next year thanks to a group of high school students learning about how to make a difference in their community. The University of Southern Queensland’s (USQ) Change Makers program saw a small team of Fraser Coast Anglican College (FCAC) students win $5000 to create the garden after pitching their idea at the inaugural Change Makers Pitchfest on USQ Fraser Coast Open Day in August. FCAC Year 11 student Alice Leighton said the team wanted to make a difference for the special school children by creating a new garden in which they could eat, play, read and relax in attractive and functional surroundings. “We’ve previously done some community work here and noticed how run down (the garden) was so we thought ‘Let’s come here and make a difference’,” Alice said. Fraser Coast Anglican College students Katie Sidhom, Anastasiya KuzioBarnes, Alice Leighton, Jake Pavey and Aimee Nash join Hervey Bay Special School students Scout Johnston, Lillianna Squillacioti, Xanthe O’Connor, Tatum Rashford and Piper Johns with Principal Jo McCracken. “Basically it was just grass and dirt so we’ve come a long way with it. Most of it was done with USQ funding. The tyres were donated by Bob Jane T-Mart and the mulch and plants were donated by Council. The garden now has sensory tyres and a reading nook where kids can sit and read... and some artifi cial turf for the eating area.” Business group serves up a tasty treat Hervey Bay Special School students were treated to a nice surprise to celebrate the end of year. Business networking group, the Lunch Bunch, came up with the idea to give the children a yummy lunch with pizzas from Domino’s and juice poppers supplied by SUPA IGA Pialba. The businesses that chipped in were Bob’s Tyres, SunQ Insurance, SUPA IGA Pialba, Continental Tyres and Domino’s Pizza.

School principal Jo McCracken was thankful for the community support from local businesses. “It’s a fabulous way to end the year,” she said. Buying a Weber Q?
