It is commonly understood that when children have a healthy breakfast their capacity to learn increases, unfortunately many primary school children come to school with an empty tummy. We at Tweed Heads Corps support Centaur Primary School’s incentive in their endeavour to alleviate this situation by offering a nutritious breakfast once a week on Thursday mornings before school to all students which is appreciated by teachers, students and their parents.

The Breakfast Club looks to provide a nutritious breakfast to the students as they arrive at school in the morning. Salvos volunteers meet at the Tweed Heads Corps and travel together to the school. The team are responsible for assisting with the general operations of the meal and creating a safe, friendly and healthy environment for the attendees to eat breakfast through quality customer service.

A typical day will involve arrival at the school to begin service at 7:30am, setting up and preparing breakfast items as directed, interacting with the students and cleaning up, all of which is completed by 8:45am.
