Wellington KiwiSport Non-Contestable Fund
The five key priorities will be addressed with specific non-contestable projects. Sport Wellington identifies providers
or organisations with the capacity and capability to deliver on these outcomes (this identification may come from
the contestable fund applications). All non-contestable projects must also fufill the requirements and considerations
described on page 4.
Two rounds of consultation support the following projects as addressing the barriers to participation in sport by schoolaged
children across our region.
Fundamental Movements
Skill (FMS) Projects -
objectives are to increase
the skill level of children in
movement, manipulation,
stability, and aquatics.
The FMS project offers Learn to Swim, MoveMprove, Football in Schools and Get
Set Go programmes to schools, every child (year 1 to 6) receives at least one block
of eight lessons. Schools have four programmes to choose from .
The Learn to Ride (LTR) project provides cycle skills training across three grades
for children that is accessible and delievered by both accredited and trained
instructors.
Primary Sport Wellington
Expansion (PWS)
ProjectProject
The PSW Project aims to provide all regions with consistent, high quality
coordination of school sport via the appointment of primary school sport coordinators.
Generic Entry Level
Coaching Course (GELCC)
Project
The GELCC Project is a non-sport specific coaching initiative designed and
targeted at participants with an interest in coaching. GELCC aims to increase the
quality, skill level and confidence of new and future coaches.
Student Sport Transition
Project (SSTP)
The SSTP Project aims to provide information, training, support and facilitate
connections to develop a seamless transition and participation by student in sport
through and beyond school.
Strengthening Secondary
School Sports (SSSP)
Project
The SSSP Project aims to provide new sporting opportunities for secondary school
students through partnerships with sports and providers of sport with the goal of
increasing participation and new participants.
Secondary School Sport
Support (SSSS) Projects
Change to funding via KiwiSport negatively impacted the ability of some schools to
attain funding for secondary school sports coordinators. Sport Wellington has given
priority to investing in secondary schools that wish to retain sports co-ordinators.
This project consists of three components which work together to support sporting
participation in secondary schools:
• Engaging new volunteers to coach and manage teams
• Supporting these volunteers to do an effective job
• Increasing opportunities to participate for current non-participants

Wellington KiwiSport Contestable Fund
The Wellington KiwiSport Contestable Fund is a community driven on-line application fund where schools, clubs, sports
and community organisations can apply for funding with a focus on providing new or expanded sporting opportunities
for school-aged children. Sport Wellington will look to invest in organisations which have programmes or projects that
demonstrate a strong focus on more kids playing sport in or out of the school setting.

Allocation of the Wellington KiwiSport Fund
The proportion of allocated funding for 2012-15 will be 80% non-contestable (allocated to initiatives identified on page
3) and 20% contestable (allocated via the community driven on-line application process). The allocation of contestable
funding WILL NOT go below 20% but may exceed 20%.
Non-Contestable Fund (80%) Sport Wellington identifies appropriate providers with the capability and
capacity to deliver the priority outcomes
Contestable Fund (20%) Community apply for funding via the on-line KiwiSport application process
by visiting www.sportwellington.org.nz/on-line-application
Sport Wellington has ruled out ring-fencing monies which specifically target age groups or geographic areas. Sport
Wellington is willing to fund programmes or projects over a three year time frame to ensure a level of security and
sustainability for the project and to enable a bigger difference.
Partnership Contribution
An expectation of the Wellington KiwiSport Regional Partnership Fund is that all applicants and/or partners will contribute
financially to their programme. KiwiSport will not fund any applicant 100%. The level of partnership contribution acceptable
will be determined by how well an application meets the KiwiSport objectives, priorities, requirements and considerations.
For the purpose of funding equality, the level of partnership contribution is OUTCOME based.
Low Partnership Contribution
Partnership Contribution Continuum
High Partnership Contribution
Financial partnership contribution may be derived from the applicant directly or from partners associated with the applicants,
e.g. participation fees, KiwiSport direct fund, contribution from sports, clubs or schools, community or trust funding,
sponsorship, regional and national affiliates.
Sport Wellington has largely ruled out the use of “In-Kind” contribution unless it represents a significant element of the
applicants for funding. For example, the provision of volunteer time would not be regarded as an existing element and not
recognised specifically for funding purposes. However, the provision of contra for transportation or significant volumes of
sports equipment may be considered.

Celebrating Wellington Region’s KiwiSport Success
Have a Go @ Surfing - SurfingNZ
‘Have a Go Surfing Day’ aims to use the surfing programme as part
of the school sporting curriculum to help increase the participation of
children at a grass roots level. Surfing NZ hopes to introduce coaching
and development programmes, therefore enabling schools to offer a fun
and exciting addition to the mainstream sports performed at school.
Lee Ryan, Development Manager at Surfing NZ said ‘this is the first
time we have brought the ‘Have a Go Surfing days’ to Wellington and
it’s been a fantastic opportunity to give the kids a taster of what surfing
is all about. It’s a great way to hook kids in; not only are we offering the
children a fun and enlightening taster day, but we are teaching them
vital beach water safety skills also’. more info
Sports Jam is a kid’s sports skills and leadership programme, which
focuses on the development of fundamental sporting skills within primary
and intermediate school children, as well as training and developing
senior school student’s sports coaching skills. Ben Hannah, Sports
Jam Director, said ‘the programme allows year 12 and 13 students
a chance to gain a ‘Growing Leaders’ coaching qualification by Sport
NZ.
Sports Jam - Waikanae School
This involves planning and developing sports coaching sessions,
learning rules and regulations, and policies and practices for the
programme. To complete their coaching qualification they need to do
15 hours of practical coaching, which is covered over the five days the
programme is run’. Sport Jam is based in a fun learning environment,
helping to develop key fundamental movement skills within young
children and gives them a taster of many different sports. more info
