Eggs!
One of our ATE traditions is giving our children an egg with their lunch on the last day of every school term. It’s a big deal for our kids, and for many of them, these are the only 3 eggs they’ll eat all year. It’s the small things that make a big difference 🥚
Huge thanks to our staff to getting raw eggs safely out to very rural schools on the back on motorbikes on dirt roads!
"egg day soon"🎉🙏
