Volunteer needs your help

Nathanial will experience his first year at schoolies.

By DANE LILLINGSTONE

Nathanial Leigh would like Southern Downs residents to get involved and help the Red Frogs for this year’s schoolies week.
Red Frogs have been synonymous with schoolies celebrations, offering a range of services throughout the various schoolies weeks for close to 20 years.
They provide support in a variety of ways to school leavers during the celebrations including walking them home at night and cooking them food.
Nathanial will be volunteering for the first time at this year’s Gold Coast Queensland schoolies.
His advice for school leavers is to use common sense.
“Make sure to drink plenty of water and eat food and keep hydrated,” he said.
“To the parents, don’t panic, your children will be safe, there are a lot of organisations down there to make sure they’re having a safe time.”
Red Frogs would like to raise 10,000 pancake shakers for this year’s schoolies so that they can provide breakfast to school leavers.
Donations can be left in the donation box outside Bi-Lo at Rose City Shoppingworld from 19 to 31 October.
