Moranbah East State School will continue its Total Manners Program to help children with self confidence, communication and manners and to deal with bullying, thanks to funding from Arrow Energy.
Arrow Senior Community Officer Andrea Morris said the company would fund a year of the school’s Total Manners Program for Year 4 and 5 students.
“This program helps young children as they prepare themselves for life,” Ms Morris said.
“Arrow seeks to fund community-based programs that build sustainable benefits.”
Moranbah East State School Deputy Principal Tanya Abell said the program helped children to become part of the wider wold.
“We see it as a great way for our students to learn about the importance of the etiquette of social interactions and dealing with others in a respectful manner,” Mrs Abell said.
“The response we have had from students who have participated in the program in the past has been fantastic.”
Arrow’s funding has come from its Brighter Futures community investment program.
Arrow also awarded Brighter Futures funding to Moranbah Junior Golfers for a series of golf coaching clinics that aims to support the development of junior golfers in the region.
Brighter Futures supports local, not-for-profit groups on projects that build community capacity in health, safety, education and environmental awareness. Last year, Arrow invested more than $3.7 million in community projects across the state.
