The Breakfast Club

Dear BEPS Community,

Our Breakfast Club is a wonderful way to start the day, fostering a sense of community, promoting healthy eating habits and supporting our students’ well-being.

What is the BEPS Breakfast Club?

Every Friday morning, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m., our Breakfast Club opens its doors to provide a warm, welcoming environment where students can enjoy a nutritious breakfast before the school day begins. The program offers a variety of healthy, Victorian-grown or manufactured foods, including muesli, Vita Brits, whole grain Cheerios, milk, baked beans, fruit cups, fresh fruits, bread, Vegemite and honey.

Why is Breakfast Important?

Breakfast truly is "the most important meal of the day." It boosts energy, enhances alertness and provides essential nutrients for good health. Starting the day with a nutritious meal helps students concentrate better, participate actively and feel confident throughout their lessons.

Building Skills and Friendships

Beyond nutrition, Breakfast Club offers informal opportunities for students to develop social and life skills. They learn about nutrition, table manners and positive social interactions in a relaxed, friendly environment. It’s a wonderful chance for children to connect with peers, staff and parent helpers, fostering a sense of belonging and community.

Parent Helpers Needed!

We warmly invite parents to join in supporting this valuable program. Parent helpers assist with setting up, preparing, serving breakfast and cleaning up afterward. Your involvement not only helps run the program smoothly but also actively supports our school community. If you are available on any Friday morning and would like to lend a hand, please contact April at yea.white@education.vic.gov.au 

A Community Effort

The Breakfast Club is a collaborative effort that brings together staff, students, and families to ensure our children start their day on a positive note. It’s more than just a meal, it’s an investment in our children’s health, confidence and social development. As we reflect on the successes of this year, it’s inspiring to see the smiles and camaraderie that the program fosters.

Thank You for Your Support!

Let’s continue to support and cherish the BEPS Breakfast Club, a simple initiative with a profound impact. Together, we are helping shape resilient, confident and healthy young minds.
