Breakfast Club School Food Program
Emerald North State School is a proud participant in the Department of Education School Food Program. The program helps to improve student health and learning outcomes, socialisation and encourage increased attendance and performance.
Healthy eating, along with physical activity, is essential in maintaining good health and wellbeing and can improve behaviours critical to educational success and participation at school.
Eating breakfast and lunch is important for:
- meeting a child's daily nutrient needs (including vitamins and minerals) for healthy growth and development
- improving the child's concentration and attention span, making them ready to learn
- reducing hunger and fatigue which may improve behaviour and mood.
At Emerald North, we utilise funding from the School Food Program to facilitate Breakfast Club.
