Breakfast Club
We operate a free breakfast club beginning at 8.20am each morning. Children are provided with a nutritious breakfast and a calm environment, ready for a smooth transition to the beginning of the school day. Children attending Breakfast Club must be signed in by an adult and enter school through the main School Office Entrance.
