School Breakfast Program
Case Study

People often ask us what makes the School Breakfast Program so special.

We can talk about pallets of food, forklifts and trucks, but the most exciting and heart-warming stories come from you, our member schools.

We’re seeking stories from our schools about how your Breakfast Club works, the positive impact it has and its special place in your school community.

School Breakfast Program case studies are published in the Morning Toast to inspire other Breakfast Clubs with tips or tricks.

They are also a critical part of grant applications and reports, helping Foodbank to secure the future of the School Breakfast Program.

How to submit a case study

The questions below outline the sort of information that makes a great case study.

We will work your information into a case study format, which may include editing to fit space and word count requirements. The school will have the opportunity to review the proposed final version before publication.

Provide photos

To bring the stories to life, we’re asking schools to provide 2-3 high-resolution images. We realise that the school may already have photo consent on file, however this often doesn’t include use by third parties. Therefore, Foodbank WA image release forms must be completed for all individuals appearing in photos (in the case of students, parent/guardian consent is required). To make the process easier, we recommend that consent be obtained prior to photos being taken.

Submission declaration

By submitting this form, the school grants Foodbank WA the right to use this information to develop a School Breakfast Program case study. The case study may appear in print or electronic publications including newsletters, social media, grant applications/reports or other promotional activities.

Any questions? Please contact the School Breakfast Program team on (08) 9258 9277 or email schoolbreakfastprogram@foodbankwa.org.au

School Breakfast Program Toolkit

School Breakfast Program

Our School Breakfast Program delivers nutritious breakfast foods to help students start their day fuelled and ready to learn.

We work with over 550 schools across Western Australia, from Esperance to the remote Kimberley. You can apply for your school too!

About our School Breakfast Program

Household food insecurity is the main driver for thousands of students attending school without eating breakfast – a fact that can be quite shocking in a state like Western Australia. Providing breakfast before school allows all students to start the day on an equal footing and goes some way to combating food insecurity in schools and improving student wellbeing through nutrition.

Since 2001, the program has grown from 17 schools to over 550 schools by the end of 2024 .

Our Foodbank WA School Breakfast Program now reaches over 26,100 students serving over 80,000 breakfasts per week!

Hosting a School Breakfast Program in WA provides more than just a good breakfast for your students.

Soothing rumbling tummies and fuelling bodies and brains for the school day are the most immediate impacts. The health, social and educational benefits of feeding students flow through to benefit fellow students, staff and the wider school community.

Register your school

Register your school for this program to ensure that no child starts their school day hungry. It’s free to register and you can manage your breakfast club yourself, so all your students have equal opportunity to receive a wholesome, nutritious breakfast on a regular basis.

To apply, please email us or call on (08) 9258 9277. 

“The breakfast program provides for our students on several levels – physically, socially and educationally. It provides nourishing healthy breakfast food that meets the physical needs of students to start the day with something nutritionally substantial in their stomachs. The breakfast club has a safe and friendly atmosphere that allows students of all ages to interact with each other in a positive way, and also with staff and parents.”

School Coordinator, Perth Metro Area 

Order school breakfast items

Schools can order breakfast items free of charge: 

Shelf-stable foods: Canned fruit, wheat biscuits, oats, Vegemite, canned spaghetti, canned baked beans and UHT milk 
Fresh produce (when available): Bread, fresh fruit and vegetables and yoghurt

Please consider the ordering instructions and lead times for collecting food from one of our branches. For remote schools, we can coordinate the delivery of your order once a term.

Community Kitchen

Each week, Foodbank WA’s Community Kitchen prepares over 1,500 meals to feed families and individuals across our state. 

We capture surplus food and transform it into affordable, healthy, and tasty fresh and frozen meals. These Foodbank WA ready-to-eat meals are then distributed through our branches,  Mobile Foodbanks and charity partners.

Giving food a third life to nourish those in need powering Foodbank

By cooking meals from surplus produce, we’re giving food a valuable “third life” while improving access to healthy food in the community.

On any given week of the year, we’ll be in the kitchen cooking delicious and nutritious meals that can be easily reheated and enjoyed. These ready-to-eat meals can provide an accessible alternative to cooking from scratch for people doing it tough.

Here’s how the lifecycle of donated food works to turn fresh food into meals:

Donation:  Generous individuals and businesses donate food to Foodbank WA.
Transformation: Our amazing Chef gets creative, using her expertise to turn surplus ingredients into healthy and hearty meals.  
Packaging:  Meals are packaged in eco-friendly containers to minimise waste. 
Distribution:  Meals reach people who need them through Foodbank and our charity partners.

How you can volunteer and feed change

Our Community Kitchen wouldn’t be possible without our ready and willing volunteers. Here’s how you can get involved and provide support:

Become a Community Kitchen volunteer: Work alongside our Chef to prepare, cook and package meals in groups. No prior experience is needed–just a willingness to help.
 

Spread the word: Share our story and encourage others to donate or volunteer. 

Creating impact with
every crumb

11% down to 3%. That’s how much we’ve reduced our food waste since the introduction of our Community Kitchen. And as for that 3% of food left over? If it’s not helping WA farmers as animal feed, it’s donated to RichGro and given a ‘fourth life’ as fertiliser.

So every bit of food that gets donated to Foodbank WA really does go towards growing something great.

Ready to feed change and volunteer in our Community Kitchen?

Who we help

Individuals

Are you looking for food assistance?

We help individuals and families find food relief in WA. People from all walks of life access food support with us, including groceries, food hampers, food vouchers, and pre-made meals. In fact, we help to feed thousands of people every month across the State–so you’re not alone if times are tough.

Schools

We work with schools all over WA, helping students to access nutritious food and learn about healthy eating for life. We can work with your school too!

Our various school programs deliver healthy food for students, as well as nutrition courses and cooking sessions to help WA kids make great food choices. Because as we all know, good nutrition helps kids grow to their full potential.

Perth Airport School Fruit Van Program

Our amazing Perth Airport School Fruit Van Program delivers free fruit for kids in WA.

We bring 10-kilo boxes of free fruit to 75 schools around Perth, every school week of the year. That’s more than 150,000 pieces of fruit a year!

How does the School Fruit Van Program work?

In a collaborative effort, fruit is donated from local growers, packed into boxes by our volunteers, and is then delivered by our purple Foodbank WA fruit van to participating schools. The program is available to schools participating in our School Breakfast Program.

We know that good food is vital for our health, especially for growing minds and bodies. Our fresh fruit for schools program helps kids start their day off right and nurtures healthy eating for students in a fun and exciting way.

Can my school join the Program?

The School Fruit Van Program is currently full, but we still encourage schools to join our waiting list.
