Both Charlton College and St Joseph’s Primary School are helping students who may not have access or time to get a healthy breakfast in the morning through their own programs.
And businesses like Caffeinated Chaos and the Charlton Bakery are helping support that.
“Starting the day with a healthy breakfast matters a lot for students - not just for physical health, but also for how well they think, behave, and learn throughout the day,” St Joseph’s Primary School principal Mary Hogan said.
“Some students are up early and recess isn’t until 11:00am, so the option of breakfast at school helps students start the day fuelled up and ready to go!
“Some students eat breakfast at home but still enjoy a little extra when they arrive at school.
“Other students simply enjoy the camaraderie and conversation to be had around the breakfast table as their classmates arrive at school.
“In short, a healthy breakfast sets the tone for the entire day - helping students to connect with friends and staff, to feel better, think clearly, and perform at their best.”
For Tia Fanning of Caffeinated Chaos, it’s about supporting our younger generations.
“I started supporting Charlton College late last year and started with St Joes this month,”she said.
“On the last Friday of each month, I provide something a little different to toast` and cereal. I want to give them something a little bit special, maybe a little bit of chocolatey goodness... food that’s good for the soul.”
Ms Hogan said it was great to partner with businesses around town.
“The benefits go way beyond just providing food it creates a ripple effect across students, schools, and the wider community,” she said.
“These acts of kindness help students feel cared for and supported, which can boost confidence and reduce anxiety.
