Tennant Creek High School Breakfast Club
At IBA Retail Asset Management, we believe in the importance of giving back to our community and supporting young people in their education and wellbeing. That’s why we are proud to support the Tennant Creek High School (TCHS) Breakfast Club. Support is provided by the weekly donation goods; curated by TCHS’s wellness officer and IRAM’s Marketing Manager.
Breakfast Clubs across the country provide students with the chance to participate in their education to the best of their abilities. This simple, but powerful initiative ensures that children arrive to class ready to learn, focus, and participate in their education.
