Breakfast Club


We are ready to start Breakfast Club for 2022!

Breakfast Club will be held outdoors for the time being to keep in line with our covid safe plan at LPS. We will be serving a grab & go breakfast on Tuesday & Wednesday mornings free for all students. Students will have a variety of choices including Uncle Toby’s Weeties, Weetbix, gluten free Cheerios, as well as milk and fruit options. We are hoping to be able to move into the Food Science room again for the winter months.

 

Helpers needed

Last year our program was very successful and we thank our parent volunteers for their time in helping to run the program. Some mornings we feed well over 100 students, and it couldn’t be done without our amazing helpers. Volunteering involves setting up the table, serving cereal in disposable cups, preparing fruit and packing away the breakfast.

Even if you can only help one day a week, or for part of the time we really appreciate it. We do ask however, that helpers wear a mask and are up to date with current vaccination requirements. Please come by on a Tuesday or Wednesday before school, or email Ayla (ayla.collins@education.vic.gov.au) for more information.

 

Cups and spoons

Due to the current COVID-19 regulations we are doing a takeaway breakfast, which means we need a lot of disposable cups and spoons! We look forward to the more sustainable option of using reusable dishes, but unfortunately this isn’t possible at the moment. If you have any packs of disposable cups or spoons that you’d like to donate to our program (any size or type), please drop them off at the office or to one of our friendly helpers on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning.

 

Foodbank

We are very lucky to have qualified for the Foodbank breakfast club program. The Victorian Government has continued its partnership with Foodbank Victoria to provide free healthy meals that will help students focus better and participate fully in their education.
