WALK, RIDE OR SCOOT TO SCHOOL MONTH
On the 15th of November our Breakfast Club put on a special ‘Healthy start Breakfast” as part of the November - Walk, ride or Scoot to School Month. There were a variety of healthy breakfast foods on offer and the City of Port Phillip provided a smoothie bike for the students to cycle up some delicious smoothies. Teachers' healthy eating and exercise tips will also be revealed!
I’d like to extend a huge thank you to Helen and all the breakfast club helpers. You create such a positive, healthy start to our school day and for this we are all grateful!
Helen’s chia seed pudding was a huge hit and many students have requested the recipe.
