The Healthy Breakfast Club
Project Officer Holly Meigel heads up the Healthy Breakfast Club program, which is designed to give Primary School age children, who for any number of reasons don't get fed before school, a healthy start to their day. Since beginning the program in December 2005, WestAus has expanded to cover 9 schools in the Peel. There has been an observed improvement to the learning and concentration of children who would otherwise be attending school hungry. The kids are offered fresh fruit, toast, milo, cereal and on Tuesdays, poached eggs to start their day.
