Breakfast Club along with Quantum Sport, in December 2012 organised a ‘fun walk’ around the 120km Manukau Harbour, in an effort to raise funds for CrackerJack Kids sporting programme to be fully funded at Randwick Park School. With the assistance of donations to the teams and The Mazda Foundation, this initiative is now fully funded at this school.
CrackerJack Kids is a resource for primary school teachers that use game play to teach foundational character traits and life skills.
