Jas' question of the day

[Jasmin Batchelor]

Hi groupmates....

I have a question ("What's new?" I can hear you all say.....) - have
any of you ever taken part in, or done a prac in a school where they
have a breakfast club operating? If so, how successful was it, and did
funds generally come from donations or the P&C or both? And did anyone
have any luck having local business donate or give discounts on food?

Know it's the end of our prac, but something I am really interested in
knowing more about for internship and later on. Seems like a lot of
kids could benefit from something like this.

Would like to hear any suggestions.....

Have a great last two days!!

Jas

When you are finished at uni pop over the Nerang State school at about 8.20am before school.Ask at the front office and they can direct you to where you should go. They have 2 programs runnng. One is run 4 days a week by a charity organisation who get donations from local supermarket chains and the other one occurs once a week and is called French Toast morning. Not sure who runs this or how they get food. These programs really support the students some of whom come to school without breakfast

Cheers Jolene

Thanks Jolene

Is that the school you are at? I saw you at the PD this afternoon but
didn't manage to catch your eye. Can you tell me who I should contact
at the school to give them advance warning that I want to drop in?

Thanks!
Jas

Sorry I missed you! Did you have a good PD? We are soooo not doing that cornflour

 muck with 23 little 7 year olds!!!! Maybe grade 3 or 4.

 

Re Breaky club: I think that if you just speak to the office staff there they will be able to tell

you if you even need to speak to anyone. You might just need to sign in as a visitor and get some directions.

Trish usually answers the phones. The ladies from the charity will be happy to chat with you

especially if you offer to butter toast while you chat etc. If you want to see the school run

morning you will need to confirm that it is Thursday and then it is run from the canteen I believe.

Good luck with that!

Yes we have the breakfast club at William Duncan aswell, I haven't got
all the information about it but I was talking to one of the girls in
my class about it yesterday. She said a charity fund their breakfast
club. It is likely because Nerang and William Duncan are so close they
are run by the same organisation. I think it is an awesome idea!!!!

I wonder how ICT could improve a breakfast club?

Google docs survey tool to find student preferences for meals
Google sites to advertise their menu
Google shared calendar to organise rosters
Google shared spreadsheet so charities/donors know what ingredients are needed most in realtime
A nice video to promote their work online
QR tags on bowls and packages to make eating breakfast into a game that reinforces homework topics
Skype video conferences with students having meals to other countries to compare what they are eating

Enjoy your last few days of prac

Nice! As always, there's an opportunity to use ICT everywhere..... Was
sad to hear response to my question this week - 'how many of you have
access to a computer or internet at home?' - wasn't expecting that. So
many disadvantaged kids out there. No wonder the gaps keep widening!!

You know what I've just realised? Can we start our prac again? This
would be a perfect thing to be able to include in our portfolio - I
had been thinking about it as something that would really benefit the
students in my school, but I hadn't really thought about it beyond
that...... Bumma! That would have been perfect!!!

Learning continues beyond Uni... but you have to mark your own work :-)

Hi Joelene,

Not sure of any schools that conduct this program but I know about a business that is involved with donating milk for Qld school students.

Foodbank Queensland is the contact for this. At work I have an email advising about the milk donations, so if you want I can forward it to you.

Cheers

Hi Jasmin

I just wanted to let you know that the school that my own children go
to Burleigh State School run a breakfast club that is run by the red
cross. I help out serving breakfast one morning a week. I believe
that last year it was totally run by the red cross but this year it
has been taken over by the schools p & c, due to funding cuts and the
red cross scaling back. It is quite successful at our school and they
serve foods like fresh fruit and toast. I believe a local bakery
donates the bread (which they freeze) and parents donate the spreads
like vegemite, honey and jam.

If you google Red Cross - Good Start Breakfast Club you should find
info on it.

I hope this helps.

Regards


Natasha
