KickStart Breakfast School Lincoln Heights hosted a cultural exchange with representatives from the Soong Ching Ling Foundation recently. Representatives including Vice President Zhang Wenkang were greeted by the children with a traditional maori performance consisting of a Karanga (Maori greeting) and Haka as well as a song about the school.
The Foundation members then sat with the children at the breakfast tables and experienced a nutritious breakfast of Weet-Bix and Anchor Mega Milk whilst talking to the children.
Debbie Waikato, Principal at Lincoln Heights School, speaks with pride about their KickStart Breakfast Programme saying “the KickStart Breakfast Programme has made a big difference to our school. Staff have noticed that those who attend breakfast club regularly are absent less, are happier, more settled in class and switched on to their learning”.
The Soong Ching Ling Foundation was established in 1982 in memory of Soong Ching Ling (Madame Sun Yat-sen, 1893-1981) late Honorary President of the People's Republic of China. The Foundation aims to carry forward the spirit of love for children and concern for their healthy growth in body and mind and to contribute to the cause of children's culture, education, scientific knowledge and welfare.

The student helpers at May Road Primary raced into their KickStart breakfast club, threw down their bags and started to help Breakfast Club Co-ordinator Christine Morey set up the tables. The students come in early most mornings to get things set up in preparation for their fellow students who arrive later as part of the walking school bus.
Parents, teachers and students alike were delighted to meet Beatrice and have their breakfasts served up by a gold medal winning athlete. Beatrice or ‘the discuss lady’ as affectionately put by the young students, was a real inspiration to the students and was met with more than a few “woah’s!” when explaining she can throw over 61 meters.
Thanks May Road for hosting the KickStart Breakfast Team at your school. The students are an enthusiastic bunch that really know the difference a good start to the day makes.

KickStart Breakfast club attendees at Putaruru Primary had a very special first day of term last week with Fonterra Chairman Sir Henry Van de Heyden and Breakfast Ambassador Beatrice Faumuina coming for breakfast.
After sitting down with the 40 students and enjoying KickStart Breakfast’s of Anchor Mega Milk and Weet-Bix, Beatrice addressed the students about the benefits of getting a good start to the day, and Sir Henry acknowledged and thanked the dedicated volunteers, calling for a round of applause.
Every week breakfast club co-ordinator Lynne Richards volunteers her time to run the club. Lynne values and appreciates the contribution that KickStart Breakfast is making to their breakfast club, commenting on the marked improvements in concentration levels and energy levels in-class as well as an improvement in overall behaviour.
A great morning had by all, congratulations to Connor who managed to eat 10 Weet-Bix and the Putaruru primary students who proved that Beatrice and Sir Henry were no match to their hoola hooping skills.
