Breakfast Club!

The School Breakfast Club operates each week on Wacky Wednesday and Thirsty Thursday. 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.

ReachOut Website!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I would like to warmly recommend the ReachOut.com website: http://au.reachout.com/ which is a youth mental health and wellbeing service for young people up til the age of 25 years.

Life for your child is more complicated and complex, than it was for ourselves at the same age and it’s helpful, as a parent, to be aware of the most “up to date” and “best practice” information around these issues.  The approach has a strong emphasis on taking positive steps to make things better.

The site has 300+ factsheets on every conceivable topic related to issues which may be concerning your son/daughter.

Please take a moment to explore this site, as it allows you to be informed about matters relevant to your son/daughter and the world they live in.

It is also a good reference point to start discussions.

Much of this information is helpful to everyone (adults included). 

Supporting and resourcing yourself is a very powerful way of providing the leadership and care, which allows your child to thrive. ​
