Luba GRIGOROVITCH (Kororoit) (14:51): (493) My question is for the Minister for Education. How many free meals have been provided to students in Kororoit as part of the school breakfast club program? I ask this post visiting a number of schools in Kororoit and seeing the exact need for it. I recently, however, visited Deer Park North Primary School, and I was asked by one of the students what are some of the things that our state government is doing to help alleviate the cost-of-living pressures. I explained to the students that the breakfast available to them in the mornings is a Labor government initiative. This program started in 2016 to provide students who might otherwise go without with a healthy breakfast so that they can get the most out of their day of learning. Every child deserves access to a great education but also to nutritious food to start their school day, and I look forward to hearing how many students have benefited from this program in Kororoit. No child in our wonderful state should go hungry ever.
