In the Bugle article of 19 April 2024 focusing on the generous support provided by Kiama Lions Club to Kiama High School, the club’s generous donation to the school’s Breakfast Club was highlighted and rightly so.

However It should be noted for the record that while Lions is one of a number of supporters of the Breakfast Club, the project was initiated, funded and staffed by accredited volunteers from the Combined churches of Kiama and Gerringong, under the supervision by Wycliffe Onyango, who is the full-time scripture teacher, at Kiama High School.

The club operates every Wednesday in term from 7.30am to 8.50am. Students are offered fruit, courtesy of Woolworths Kiama, fruit juice, cereals and toast with jams or vegemite.

The club is held in the Food Technology classroom so students can eat while sitting at tables and take the opportunity to socialise.

There is no charge. Feedback from students has been positive, especially from those who do early morning sport, and arrive needing to top up their energy stores for the school day.
