ROMA State College students will be eating healthier food after winning funds to help their tuck shop.

The school's P&C Association was among several local groups to share in $5,800 through Easternwell's community grants program, with much needed funds also going to Dunkeld Pony Club and Cultural Heritage Injune Preservation Society (CHIPS).

Meryl Eddie, RSC P&C president said their share of the funds would be used to purchase kitchen equipment for the school's tuckshop, to help prepare the school's Healthy Eating Program meals and other catering opportunities.

"Being the largest school in the Maranoa region, our school is a hub of community activity and we often host various regional events," Meryl said.

"The tuckshop and its volunteers provide an invaluable service to students, parents, teachers and the community through the supply of food on school days and catering at sports days and regional activities."

Easternwell, one of Australia's leading drilling and well servicing providers, first launched their and has since provided more than $60,000 to groups, clubs and associations in the areas in which they operate.

Applicants are assessed on criteria across a number of different areas including education, health, indigenous, safety, training and youth.

Easternwell CEO Troy Campbell said the Community Grants program was launched in August 2011 to provide financial and social assistance to smaller, lesser known organisations.

"There are countless community groups, clubs and associations in our operating areas who provide important services to their communities," Mr Campbell said.

The Easternwell Community Grants awards $40,000 spread across two rounds assessed bi-annually with the next round opening on February 22.
