The Meals in Schools pilot in ACT public schools has begun.
Students at five schools will receive free breakfast and lunch three days a week throughout the school year. The pilot will run until July 2025.
Participating schools are:
• Narrabundah Early Childhood School
• Richardson Primary School
• Gilmore Primary School
• Gold Creek School – Senior Campus (years 7 to 10)
• Melba Copland Secondary School – College Campus (years 10 to 12)
The ACT government committed nearly $4 million towards the pilot scheme in the last budget.
