*Make aDifference***

Our breakfast club is a welcoming place where students can get a full tummy ready for learning, a morning catch up with myself, to see their friends and to help out. It is a deadly way for students to start a great day of learning. We can’t thank KickStart enough for providing us with the resources to be able to put breakfast on each morning.

Sam Kop, Aboriginal Community Education Officer Wallaroo Mines Primary School

It has been a blessing to partner with KickStart for Kids. To see kids lives transformed through the joy brought with a friendly face at breakfast club, to the difference a mentor makes who is willing to journey life alongside them. The impacts are priceless!

Hayley Walker, School Chaplain Kilkenny Primary School

We are so thankful for the support KickStart provides St Joseph’s Breakfast Club. KickStart provides us with the supplies so we can provide our students with the sustenance gained through a healthy breakfast, allowing us to provide a soft landing for our students so they can be successful, thriving learners.

Kylie Wells, School Chaplain & Wellbeing Support St Joseph’s School, Peterborough

KickStart not only provides a healthy and nutritious breakfast to start the day, but also offers an inclusive opportunity for our students to sit at a table, have a meal together and demonstrate our School Values. It is a pleasure to watch our students, teachers and KSFK volunteers connect across all year levels, enhancing the sense of community we have at Hackham East Primary School.

Claire McGarvey, Wellbeing & Aboriginal Education Officer Hackham East Primary

KickStart's donation of bread, butter, and spreads has made a significant difference in the lives of our students, and we are truly grateful for their kindness. Thanks to their donation, our students are able to enjoy a nutritious breakfast every day, which has helped them to stay focused and engaged in their studies. Their support has not only improved the health and well-being of our students, but it has also made a positive impact on their academic performance. It is heartening to see that there are still individuals and organisations like Kickstart for Kids who are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others. Their kindness and generosity have not gone unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for all that they have done for our school.
