Breakfast in Schools
KickStart Breakfast helps more children achieve their best by getting a kick start to their day. Fueled by milk and grains, KickStart kids experience the power of a nutritious breakfast to provide both strength and energy for maximum learning at school.
KickStart Breakfast is the only school breakfast programme of its kind within New Zealand. We work together with local school communities to provide healthy breakfasts to children. Sanitarium provides the Weet-Bix, Fonterra the Anchor milk and it’s the school that is responsible for delivering the programme.
Breakfast clubs are about more than eating breakfast at school. The engaging environment encourages students to develop social skills, take on extra responsibility and grow academically through the wider benefits of breakfast.
School Principal of Lincoln Heights Auckland, Debbie Waikato says:
"The KickStart Breakfast Programme has made a big difference at our school. Staff have noticed those children who attend breakfast club regularly are absent less, happier, more settled in class and switched on to their learning"
