09:05 Poverty sees increasing number of teenagers going to school hungry
Angela Roberts is the president of the PPTA, Post Primary Teachers' Association; Michael Heath is the deputy principal of Marlborough Boys' College; and Karen Stewart is the principal of Marlborough Girls' College.
The PPTA says there's a quiet revolution at many high schools around the country where hungry teenagers are being fed, it's not just about breakfast clubs in primary schools. Poverty is causing an increasing number of New Zealand high schools to offer breakfasts and lunches to students in need, it is done in a social way so teenagers don't feel singled out or stigmatised. Both of Blenheim's Decile Seven high schools, Marlborough Boys' College and Marlborough Girls' College says they need to act as a social agency for pupils from financially strapped homes as well as be educators.
Marlborough Girls' is offering lunches to girls who don't have any, and staff also contribute to a food parcel service for families in dire need. Marlborough Boys' has recently been putting on breakfast for some of its hungry boys.
