Mount Clear students start day right way with a healthy breakfast

Increasing student knowledge about the benefits of healthy eating and physical activity will be the focus of a special breakfast at Mount Clear Primary School on Monday 28 October.

As part of October's Walk to School Month, the City of Ballarat recently partnered with VicHealth to run a healthy breakfast competition.

To enter, students were asked to name one thing their school intended to do differently to get more kids walking, riding or scooting to school.

The two winning schools were Mount Clear Primary School and Urquhart Park Primary School, whose breakfast will be held on 31 October.

Supplied and facilitated by the City of Ballarat, each event will include an array of healthy menu options plus a breakfast smoothie bike for students to make their own smoothies.

A $500 goodie box of active sporting equipment will also be awarded to each school.
