The KickStart Breakfast Unsung Hero Award is recognition to those who unselfishly give up their time to support our students and schools, especially those who are too young to serve breakfast themselves. It is awarded to someone or, in this case, a group of volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes, and seek little or no recognition in return.
It’s the first time since the KickStart Breakfast Awards began two years ago that the Unsung Hero Award has been given to a group. This amazing team of volunteers dedicate their time and energy to make sure breakfast is prepared each and every morning to the tamariki at TKKM o Te Wananga Whare Tapere o Takitimu.
“They don’t do it for the glory, the pay is non-existent, they have families and day jobs but they come together rain hail or shine to make sure breakfast is happening,” says Fleur Wainohu, the principal.
They are: Martha Greening, Kathleen Hawaikirangi, Te Kerehi Thompson, Whetu Marama Paenga, Waimaria Paenga.
With this Award, TKKM o Te Wānanga Whare tapere o Takitimu receives $3,000 towards their Breakfast Club.

In recognising the great work that Morrinsville Primary School’s commitment to the KickStart Breakfast programme by ensuring students are welcomed every day with a positive friendly atmosphere impressed our panel on so many levels.

Morrinsville Primary School live and breathe the values of what the KickStart Breakfast Programme stands for, and that is the reason why Morrinsville is our KickStart Breakfast Club winner for 2016.

The KickStart Breakfast Student Champion Award acknowledges students who have shown an exceptional and outstanding commitment to their KickStart Breakfast club. It recognises our KickStart leaders of tomorrow and promotes aspiring youth leadership.
This year, Bryn Boyes of Motueka High School in Nelson impressed our panel on so many levels. A Year 10 student who unselfishly gives up his time to support his peers through the KickStart Breakfast programme.
A leader that shows a genuine desire to help other students and is an excellent role model within the school and the community he serves. He is admired for ensuring the KickStart Breakfast programme is delivered in a safe, welcoming and engaging atmosphere, which encourages students to be a part of the programme each and every day.
Bryn volunteers 4 days a week, and gets up at 6am to make the 16 km ride into school to set up the Breakfast Club in the morning. His contribution is the epitome of what this award stands for: Commitment, Leadership and Respect from peers, teachers and the community.
Congratulations Bryn! You represent all our great KickStart Breakfast Student Champions across the country who give up their time to help their peers succeed. Thank you.
Bryn Boyes receives $3,000 prize money to help further his educational development.
