AnswerView source ↗

The question is dated 21 August 2001, but I am advised that the response is correct as at 19 February 2002. (1)-(3) A number of government schools organise the provision of breakfast and/or lunch programs for students. The programs are organised at the local level as the schools see a need, so no total figures are available. The Department of Education supports the provision of meals for students whose parents send them to school without appropriate nourishment. School communities run these programs with assistance from the State and Commonwealth Governments, parents and citizens associations and charitable organisations.
