AUCKLAND WIDE PROGRAMMES
He Oranga Poutama
He Oranga Poutama (HOP) ki Tāmaki, Sport Waitakere (project
lead) and Aktive have continued to work strategically alongside
local RSTs, Auckland Council, Sport NZ, Mana Whenua, Iwi
Leaders, Aktive Māori Advisory Group (AMAG), Roopu Manaaki
(Māori Advisory to HOP), funders, Whānau, Hapū, Iwi and
others to raise the profile of this uniquely Māori sport and
recreation programme.
The work includes:
• Co-leading with Te Waka Angamua / Auckland Council
the development of Te Whai Oranga (Māori sport and
recreation plan). Its key strategic uses include:
- Policy development within Auckland Council
- Sector community empowerment tool in Māori spaces
- Whakapapa and kaupapa whānau ignition tool
- Provides an evaluation framework which is already being
used by some organisations.
• Next steps for Te Whai Oranga:
- Finalising implementation
- Maintain stakeholder relationships
- Sign off with Regional Strategy and Operations Committee
- Launch, monitor, report and evaluate.
• An independent review of Māori participation in Aotearoa
took place in early 2016 with the report presented to the
Sport NZ Board in mid-2016. Opportunities for HOP
(alongside the Iwi Leaders forum) to further shape the Māori
sport and recreation space are emerging.
• Continued Roopu Manaaki (HOP Māori Advisory)
representation on One Voice (Independent Sport and
Recreation Advisory Group to Auckland Council)
and Aktive Māori Advisory Group (AMAG).
A total of 15,829 people
participated in the HOP ki Tāmaki
programme in 2015/16, an increase
of 3,717 participants from the

Under 5’s
The He Pī Ka Rere programme has developed from a
programme which operated specifically in Kōhanga Reo
and Puna Reo to one which includes selected mainstream
early childhood education centres. The programme includes
a focus on physical activity with Atuatanga (Māori Gods) and
is popular amongst both Māori and non-Māori settings alike.

programme participants were 5671 taiohi (5-12 year olds)
and 4820 rangatahi (13-19 year olds.) An increase of 1018
and 1718 participants respectively from the previous year.
It also includes the “Mauri Tū” Māori weaponry programme
being delivered in mainstream schools across Tāmaki /

the past 12 months include:
• 2287 Ki o Rahi participants from mainstream /
non-Māori settings
• 200 participants on the Māuri Tu (Māori weaponry)
programme including previous participants now
becoming the tutors
• 32 Wharekura students participating in “Te Manukura
Āpuarangi” (Māori Youth Leadership programme)
- Includes the Rangatahi participating as Māori games
tutors at the Waka Herenga Festival
• 1020 traditional Māori games participants
from mainstream settings
