Petition Require schools to have lunch breaks at least 40 minutes long

We want the Government to require schools to have lunch breaks that are at least 40 minutes long. Academics have argued that short lunch breaks can have potential serious implications for children’s wellbeing and development.

More details

We believe it is important for the Government to make this change so that children have the best chance to pursue academic dreams. This is only possible if students have adequate opportunities to have lunch, socialise and exercise.
