Breakfast Club
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and plays a part in paving the way for a high achieving and happy student. When a child misses breakfast in the morning, they become irritated, distracted and stressed, and are more prone to headaches and mood swings.
The benefits of a healthy breakfast for teenagers include:
- Improved concentration
- Better behaviour
- Healthier lifestyle
- Happier student
Additionally, Breakfast Club is a way to ensure students are in school on time and gives them the opportunity to interact with staff and their peers. The breakfast environment and culture have a major impact on attendance.
