Government grants $5000 for Storm Co

Students will benefit from a $5000 grant Avondale College has received from the Australian Government under Volunteer Grants 2010. The grant, part of the government’s Community Investment Program, will support students who volunteer to join the college’s Storm Co teams. Avondale will use most of the money to buy a data projector and a portable public address system, help cover the cost of fuel and offer training courses. The grants are the one of the ways the government recognises and values Australian volunteers serving in local communities, say Jenny Macklin and Ursula Stephens in their letter to director of student services Kevin Judge. Macklin is the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs; Stephens the Parliamentary Secretary for Social Inclusion and the Voluntary Sector.
