Kooringal High School's year 10 Commerce students lead the fundraising as part of their curriculum, today handing over a total of $865 to the Forrest Hill Rural Fire Brigade.

Student Chloe Hinds, 16, said the donation was collaboration between two classes.

"We put all our efforts in to one focus service this year and raised money through cake sales, sausage sizzles, a guess the lollies competition and even a 'pie the teacher competition'," she said.

Deputy Captain and Treasurer of Forrest Hill Rural Fire Brigade, Pete Bye, accepted the donation and said it would make a significant difference to the service.

"The Rural Fire Service are really good at supplying the essential equipment we need to do our job, however these donations go towards station upgrades and helping us purchase equipment that goes above and beyond what the service provides us," he said.

"It's the little things we can put on the trucks too to make the members' jobs a little easier and a little nicer - we do long, hot shifts out there and anything we can do to make our lives just that bit more comfortable makes it all easier."

Mr Bye said they needed all the support they could get to help surrounding regions struggling through bushfires.

"Luckily because we have been relatively quiet here in the Riverina, we've been able to support our colleagues around the state," he said.

"We've had crews deployed continuously for about four months, some members are on their seventh rotation."

Fellow student Ella Leonard, 16, said the fundraising was a start to a big journey ahead.

"It's still something people need to continue supporting, there are still a lot of people that need help and money is just a small part of doing so," she said.
