12,000 P6 pupils to get free breakfast bundles ahead of PSLE

FairPrice Foundation (FPF), the philanthropic arm of supermarket chain FairPrice Group on Monday (Aug 17) announced the return of its Cheers Breakfast Club. 

The initiative, now in its third year, will see 12,000 Primary 6 students — about 30 per cent of the Primary 6 cohort — taking their Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) receive free breakfast bundles.

FairPrice Group said in a news release that the bundles will be available for public redemption at 51 participating Cheers and FairPrice Xpress outlets islandwide from 1pm on Sept 3, and during operating hours from Sept 4 to 6.

Redemptions will be on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last, with each student limited to one bundle redemption.

Primary 6 students can redeem a bundle by presenting their student card or PSLE examination slip. Parents may also redeem a bundle on their child's behalf, by presenting their child's student card or a physical or electronic copy of the examination slip.

Over 2,600 bundles have also been set aside for P6 student beneficiaries from self-help groups such as the Chinese Development Assistance Council, Eurasian Association, Yayasan Mendaki and the Singapore Indian Development Association.

FPF's general manager Jean Khong said the initiative is part of the foundation's broader commitment to improve access to nutrition for vulnerable groups across all life stages.

“More than just a meal, we hope every child takes away this message that the PSLE is but one step in our lifelong learning journey. Believe in yourself, persevere, and know that your community is cheering you on," Khong said.

What's in the bundle

Each bundle, worth over $25, contains a selection of breakfast staples. They include:

• FairPrice instant oatmeal (400g)
• Brand's Essence of Chicken (68ml)
• Ayam tuna flakes in olive oil — Omega 3 (150g)
• Oatside original oat milk (180ml)
• Nestle Koko Krunch cereal (70g)
