Five Canberra schools to provide free breakfasts and lunches three days per week with Meals in Schools program pilot

 A new ACT government-funded pilot program will see thousands of Canberra students fed throughout their school days when the free meals initiative rolls out later this year.

The Meals in Schools pilot – an ACT Labor 2020 election commitment – will provide students at five ACT public schools with free breakfasts and lunches three days per week over a period of 18 months, beginning in term 3.

It will involve schools that represent a range of communities, year levels and taste preferences, and is set to cost the government $1.462 million.
