Kenilworth Dairies makes generous donation to Kenilworth State Community College

A delivery of fresh, locally sourced yoghurt and milk from Kenilworth Dairies has allowed the schoolchildren of a small Sunshine Coast town to have a delicious, nutritious breakfast before class.

The start of the school day recently got a whole lot yummier for the students of Kenilworth State Community College who have been supplied breakfast by Kenilworth Dairies every Thursday morning for the last month.

A delivery of fresh, locally sourced yoghurt and milk from Kenilworth Dairies has allowed the schoolchildren of the small Sunshine Coast town to have a delicious and nutritious breakfast before class.

Owner of award-winning Kenilworth Dairies, John Cochrane, thought the donation would be the perfect way to give back to the local community.

“I do feel for the kids that don’t get the opportunity to have breakfast in the morning,” Mr Cochrane told the Sunshine Coast Daily.

“I was very lucky as a kid living on a farm and I always think it’s pretty important.

“I am always happy to feed people.”

Mr Cochrane has been the owner of Kenilworth Dairies for the past four years and employs 50 workers who mostly live locally.

He said the community spirit of the farming town is something that has always been present.

“You’ve got to look after one another in the bush and that’s been a tradition and nothing has changed,” he said.

“I am absolutely sure the students appreciate it and enjoy it.”

Senior Constable Pierre Senekal is Kenilworth’s main police officer and was happy to see the school receive the generous donation from the factory.

“It was really nice of him,” Constable Senekal said.

“He’s also looking at expanding that donation to other schools in the Mary Valley as well.”
