Students help at seniors' lunch

Students from Brisbane Water Secondary College senior campus and the Alternative Learning Centre at the Police and Community Youth Centre turned into waiters and chefs' helpers on Monday, March 15.

They were at Ettalong Beach War Memorial Club for the Marie Andrews MP Seniors Barbecue and Concert.

They served lunch for the senior citizens and many commented on their good manners.

"The students took the occasion with great enthusiasm," said principal Mr Pat Lewis.

"Far from being public school students who are taught no values, as some would claim, the students earned great praise from both the organisers and the guests for their manners, their leadership, their hard work and their willing service to their community.

"This is all part of the values education which the college imparts to students and emphasises the importance of community participation and service, respect for others and particularly, valuing the contribution which our older Australians have made to our community," he said.
