The Starters Foundation

Starting school in New Zealand comes with a wide range of costs that can disadvantage students and their families from the outset.

The Starters Foundation is working to support school starters and their families through the financial barriers of education, by providing stationery and clothing.

Lower decile schools will be the target of the Foundation, with the long term goal of providing stationery and items of clothing to every new entrant student in Waikato Primary Schools with a decile rating below five.

Through small steps, we can expand the opportunities of many.

We would likely to greatly thank Matt Wallbank with all the mahi he has been doing behind the scenes to get this up and running for Crawshaw School.
