The squeeze on Australian households caused by rising economic pressures has seen a dramatic uptick in the number of kids going to school each day without having breakfast or lunch.

This week on The Bursar Podcast, Claire Halliday interviews Julie Dunbabin from School Food Matters, a pilot project in Tasmania that is seeking to combat the issue following extensive international research.

Also on the podcast, Claire chats with colleague Dan Barrett about:

  • The impact of WFH parents on school holiday activities
  • Private schools are charging parents non-refundable deposits for enrolments
