Our students are great volunteers T he new year has kicked off with plenty of helping hands from schools in Division 2. This includes Kingston State College’s (KSC) Food Dudes Program, Woodridge State High School’s arts and community program and the YMCA School signing up students to volunteering certificate courses.

New Wilbur St centre for kids being kids
T he Wilbur St Youth Centre in Logan Central is more than just a building – it's a place where those aged between 12 and 18 can participate in free activities on school holidays and after school. The Youth Centre includes a basketball and multi-use court, gaming zone, recording studio, podcast space, computer room, dance studio, arts and crafts space, a barber corner, a pool table and a table tennis area. The facility, next door to Logan Central Library, is being managed by Rekon with volunteers from all backgrounds offering their skills in teaching snooker/pool, creating
artworks and hosting game sessions. Most importantly, they also listen to and work with teens on challenges they face in the community each day. Division 2 Councillor Teresa Lane calls the Youth Centre a ‘dream project’. ‘I am so proud of it,’ Cr Lane says. ‘(Federal Treasurer) Jim Chalmers, (State Member) Cameron Dick and our Council believed in this project and helped fund a huge initiative for our local area. ‘This is a space for our young people to grow, to learn, and to lead. 'We all believe in their potential, and we are here to support them every step of the way,’ she says.
