Healthy start to school day
SCHOOLS on the Tablelands will be cooking up a storm, with funding to provide healthy breakfasts and lunches to students under the government’s School and Community Food Relief program.
More than 180,000 students from across the state will access the program, which helps schools provide a good start to the day for students and targets communities experiencing high cost of living pressures.
The $15 million School and Community Food Relief program includes $10.7 million for the Department of Education to support state schools in delivering the program during the school day, including the option for some schools to engage a food program coordinator.
Some 19 state schools across the Tablelands are included in the program and include:
Atherton High, Biboohra, Butchers Creek, Chillagoe, Dimbulah, Herberton, Irvinebank, Julatten, Kuranda College, Malanda High, Malanda, Mareeba High, Mareeba, Millaa Millaa, Mt Garnet, Mt Molloy, Mutchilba, Ravenshoe and Walkamin.
