Aktive Summary Annual Report 2017/18

Aktive Annual Report 2017/2018 23
The Auckland Approach to Community Sport identifies
girls aged 10-18 years. A critical insight from this
group is that every girl wants different things from
being active and views being active differently.
HERA – Everyday Goddess,
looks to empower girls aged
10-18 years to become active for
life by supporting girls to enjoy,
participate and become more
engaged in physical activity.
2017/18 has seen several highlights, including:
• More than 1,800 girls engaged directly in sport
and recreation opportunities through HERA –
Everyday Goddess

“I have always believed my role was to
develop our people, I just didn’t have
the framework or words to explain
it. Good Sports has provided both of
those. I am really excited about the
conversations I will now have with my
Rugby League community.”
- Tony Lajpold, New Zealand Rugby League
“For us as leaders to step back and
remember our why - getting to know
each other and how we work better
together or can utilise each other
through the work we do in HERA and
potentially other areas of our mahi.”
