Tarneit electorate
Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (14:37): (271) My question is to the Minister for Education. How many free meals have been delivered to students in Tarneit as part of the school breakfast club program? In 2016 the Victorian government partnered with Foodbank Victoria to deliver the school breakfast club program in 500 schools right across Victoria. Building on the success of the original program, the Victorian government provided $58 million to deliver the expanded program in 1000 Victorian government primary, secondary, P–12 and specialist schools over four years from 2019 to 2023. Providing a range of fresh and nutritious foods to schools enables students in need to concentrate and participate effectively in the school day. This program has been running successfully in Tarneit and has helped to keep our local kids happy and healthy whilst at school. Every child deserves access to nutritious foods at the start of the day.
