School Food Program
School food programs are becoming a regular feature of many schools across Queensland. Breakfast and lunch programs help to improve student health and learning outcomes and socialisation, and encourage increased attendance and performance.
Healthy eating, along with physical activity, is essential in maintaining good health and wellbeing and can improve behaviours critical to educational success and participation at school.
In 2023, the Queensland Government provided funding to 861 selected schools to support the establishment or enhancement of a school food program for their students.
In May 2024, the Queensland Government announced an additional $10.7 million in funding to support school food programs. All 623 Queensland state schools that applied through the expression of interest process will receive funding to support school food programs.

Indigenous elders
Our class names are from an
indigenous vocabulary and have a meaning that teachers will use to help form a
class identity. The reason for indigenous names is to have as a part of our
everyday life at school an opportunity to acknowledge the perspective of the
traditional landowners. Our department
places a high level of importance on all students gaining an indigenous
perspective in their learning, and for the indigenous perspective to be
embedded in our school life. Our school is required to have an action plan in
response to the policy Embedding
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Perspectives. A committee of interested teachers, parents and community members meet
regularly.
