Located in Yarrabilba, Queensland, South Rock State School opened in 2023 and quickly grew to over 480 students. In a community facing financial hardship and food insecurity, the school identified a critical need to support student health and wellbeing through improved nutrition.
To address this, the school launched a multi-faceted food initiative. Key programmes include a Breakfast Club run with charity partner 5Fold, a daily “Crunch and Sip” break, and a Healthy School Lunch programme providing nutritious meals to at-risk students. Students also participated in a gardening programme and “Taster Days” to explore new fruits and vegetables. “Tasty Tuesday” social media posts extended nutrition education to families and the wider community.
Students have gained valuable skills in food safety, budgeting, and cooking. The initiative has improved focus, learning, and overall wellbeing. Community involvement has been central, with local businesses, volunteers, and families contributing time, resources, and support.
Future plans for the school include launching a community pantry, hosting a student-led cooking event, and expanding partnerships. South Rock’s initiative is not only feeding students – it’s cultivating a culture of health, resilience, and community connection.
