Eureka electorate
Michaela SETTLE (Eureka) (14:53): (895) My question is for the Minister for Education. The school breakfast clubs program recently celebrated its 50 millionth breakfast served across the state. I visited Mount Pleasant Primary School on the day we announced that milestone, and the smiles on the faces of those students as they grabbed their toast, their milk bottles and their bowls of Cheerios showed just how much they love this program. As someone who has volunteered for a local breakfast club in the past, I can say firsthand how much the parents and teachers love it as well. I also heard from the principal Carly Middleton about how there is no longer a stigma around school breakfast clubs, especially since the Allan Labor government announced they would be extended to all government schools on an opt-in basis. My question for the minister is: how many schools in the Eureka electorate are benefiting from this wonderful school breakfast clubs program?
