Breakfast Club is a new program at Gundagai Public School that aims to give students the opportunity to eat a wholesome, nutritious breakfast on a regular basis. Having breakfast has a positive impact on factors such as physical and mental health, social skills, concentration, behaviour, attendance, and academic outcomes.
Breakfast Club will initially operate on Wednesdays from 8:30am to 9:00am. It is a totally free program, where all GPS students can visit the canteen and receive a healthy breakfast before school.
