Nanango State High School offers a wide variety of student services and support programs.
The School Breakfast Club operates each week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Based in the school hall, support staff prepare nutritious food on these mornings from 8.15am.
Recent health surveys have revealed that approximately 25% of students at Nanango High School do not have breakfast before attending school. Breakfast is essential to maintaining good health. The Nanango Foodbank generously supports the program which is also assisted by the Department of Communities, Disability Services and Seniors.
We welcome involvement from staff, parents and community members. If you are interested in helping out please contact Student Services.
