6776 - SCHOOL BREAKFAST PROGRAM FUNDING

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Education
  1. How many schools in the Wallsend electorate received funding as part of the School Breakfast Program in the 2016-17 financial year?

  2. How many schools in the Wallsend electorate currently receive funding as part of the School Breakfast Program (as at 11 October 2017)?

Answer -

I'm advised that the New South Wales Department of Education does not collect this data centrally. School principals, in consultation with their local communities, make decisions about establishing programs like a school breakfast program.

Last month, the Government announced $1.09 billion in needs based Resource Allocation Model (RAM) funding. This funding allows principals to decide on programs most appropriate for their community. Schools in the Wallsend electorate will receive more than $11 million in RAM funding for 2018.
