Breakfast & Homework Club

Starting on the first Thursday in September we will commence a Breakfast/Homework Club. It will run from 8.15-8.45am. Kasey Cook has kindly offered to assist with the program. The School Breakfast Clubs program seeks to address the impact that disadvantage can have on education outcomes by offering free and healthy food for students. Research shows that a child's ability to concentrate in class, self-regulate and learn is negatively impacted if they are hungry. Depending on the popularity of the club we are seeking volunteers to help with the program. Volunteering at a School Breakfast Club is a rewarding way to play an active role in supporting your community and helping to ensure students can start their day with a healthy breakfast. School Breakfast Club Helpers assist with tasks such as setting up the breakfast area, preparing and serving breakfasts, and cleaning up and washing dishes. Social interaction with the students is an important part too and supports informal learning of social and life skills. All schools require volunteers to have a Working With Children Check. Please contact the school if you are interested.
