14 Aktive Annual Report 2013/2014 HIGHLIGHTS FROM DELIVERY PARTNERS Counties Manukau Sport Counties Manukau Sport’s key achievements July 2013 – June 2014 using Sport New Zealand/Aktive funding Project Energise Working in collaboration with Sport Waikato, 10 schools in the Franklin district formed the Project Energize pilot in Counties Manukau at the beginning of 2013. The success of the project in Franklin led to the programme’s expansion into five Mangere schools during 2013-2014. Total school rolls were 2,149 with 19% Maori and 73% Pacific. Baseline data indicated children in Mangere took 30 seconds longer to run the 550m distance compared to Waikato children. It was identified that education around nutrition and physical activity were key factors in the time differences between the Mangere and Waikato children. It highlighted a need to continue a push to expand the program further into schools within the Counties Manukau region. “Project Energize has been an exciting and engaging initiative. Our children continually talk about health lessons delivered by fun and friendly staff” Leanne Dodd Valley School sport coordinator Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) In 2013-2014 our two FMS advisors delivered FMS to 40 centres area-wide. The second year of a partnership with the National Heart Foundation saw a growth in Healthy Heart Awards achieved by Pasifika early childhood centres. This successful dual delivery model of FMS in conjunction with the Heart Award delivered improved skills and increased physical activity for children and staff, and healthy eating options for the whole community. The Counties Manukau Sport Fundamental Skills Resource is acknowledged by teachers as filling a gap. Teachers used the skills and games not only in PE but for co-curricular activities such as lunchtime or house sport, “have a go” type opportunities, sport mentoring programmes and a range of fitness activities. Secondary Schools In secondary schools, our organisation is 100% focussed on leadership – educating sports coordinators to work at a more strategic level. A secondary school sport coordinator advisory group has been set up to lead ideas around personal development and best practice. Cluster groups have also been set up for area strategy plans. Secondary school census data has been compiled and presented at senior management level with sport assessments and sport plans filtered down to operational level. 2013-2014 saw quality competitions being delivered by Counties Manukau Sport at localised [zone], regional and national level. Intra-school sport continue to provide further opportunities to increase participation. Schools highlights include: • Pakuranga College – NZ Secondary Schools Girls Softball Champions • Saint Kentigern College: - NZ Secondary Schools Girls Team Time Trial Champions - NZ Secondary Schools Boys Football Champions - NZ Secondary Schools Girls & Boys Tennis Champions - NZ Secondary Schools Team Tag Triathlon Champions • Tangaroa College - NZ Secondary Schools Co-Ed Rugby Union Champions • Alfriston College - NZ Secondary Schools Touch Mixed Champions. KiwiSport KiwiSport investment to clubs, primary and secondary schools, and RSOs enabled delivery of basic sports skills into primary and secondary settings with over 160 projects covering 27 sports. Counties Manukau Sport has been integral to the facilitation and promotion of these projects. Data from KiwiSport projects shows that junior numbers have increased when school and club links are formed. Sport New Zealand’s Young Persons Survey highlighted sports that students would like to try and this information also influenced some of Counties Manukau Sport’s KiwiSport decisions. In a new KiwiSport initiative this year a Counties Manukau touch development officer introduced touch rugby to over 12,500 students delivering 560 hours of coaching. Harbour Sport Each year, Harbour Sport has become more adept at targeting our focus to make an impact in participation in our region, so that those not currently participating in sport and recreation have every motivation and opportunity to do so. Our major highlights in 2013/14 included seeing our ActiveAsian programme expanded into primary schools; reaching close to 7,000 children via professional development for teachers and other educators; and continuing our advocacy, research and collaboration across the sector. Other highlights include: Cycling • Delivered cycle skills training to 546 5-13 year olds • Completed research into ‘Does cycling prepare young people for driving through the acquisition of transferable skills?’ attracting local print and national radio coverage. Fundamental Movement Skills • Professional development delivered into ECEs, primary schools and to student teachers impacting over 300 participants and over 6,800 children • 100% satisfaction regarding content (including ease of use) • Over 50% of Funskills students (children who have never been involved in sport before) are remaining active.

Sport Auckland Our work in the community has focused on delivering intervention programmes that increase participation in sport and recreation; increase basic sports skills and fundamental movement skills across our region; increase the quality and quantity of community coaching; help build club, school and RSO capability whilst playing strong advocacy and influencing roles to increase investment in sport and recreation. Strategy & Alignment At a strategic level we helped contribute to the shaping of Aktive’s strategic plan and the Auckland-wide Sport and Recreation Strategic Action Plan. We seconded key staff to Aktive and New Zealand Rugby League. Our senior management team sits on regional sport organisations’ boards. We made submissions to Auckland Council on unitary plans and worked very closely with our local boards on projects that increased sport and recreation opportunities for our communities. With the emergence of Aktive as our new regional leader and key funder in the sector, our board and senior management team grasped the opportunity to refine our focus of work. With Aktive mandated to concentrate on regional leadership and programmes we have been able to focus on taking our programmes deeper into our communities, clubs and schools. We have adapted our delivery models to have a community sport advisor and community sport coordinator in each of our local board areas allowing us to gain far greater penetration and reach into these communities. The move has avoided duplication and fragmentation between ourselves and Aktive. Our coaching work focuses on the community and the foundation level of coaching; leaving the Greater Auckland Coaching Unit to leverage off and complement that work by focusing on the development, performing and high performing levels of coaching. This refinement has allowed us to seamlessly align our work with Aktive, Sport New Zealand and Auckland Council outcomes. Youth and Community Our youth team’s work in schools continues to grow. We extended our community sport coordinator model into a third cluster this year delivering 67 events or programmes to a total of over 67,000 participants in Waitemata, Tamaki and Mt Roskill. Investment of over $660,000 was channelled into 30 new local Kiwisport projects. We continued to take on the regional leadership and delivery of the Get Set Go programme on behalf of Athletics New Zealand and project-managed the GAAAP programme on behalf of the Regional Sports Trust Alliance (RSTA). We partnered with Auckland Transport, Bike On, two local boards and board of trustees to bring the Bikes in Schools programme to Freemans Bay and Tamaki primary schools which will see bike tracks laid in the two schools for community use as well. We worked closely with our 30 secondary schools supporting directors of sport and sport coordinators ensuring all schools had opportunities to increase participation in sport and recreation; and that all had school sports plans that connected with their respective school strategic plans. Coaching We delivered over 30 coaching programmes to our community and had over 300 participants. We worked in depth with 30 clubs on club capability build and continued our work with the University of Auckland’s Sport and Recreation department in this area. Several RSOs sought our support with governance and strategic planning work. The Sport Development Capability team instigated our Volunteer Management programme with clubs and partnered with Volunteer Auckland to deliver a governance mentoring programme to clubs. Generic workshops were held during the year for our stakeholders that covered topics such as governance, funding and volunteer management. We were the region’s administrator for the Auckland Sports Coalition that feeds into the Auckland Council’s One Voice Advisory Group. Our staff continued to play key roles in the Active Community Investment pilot projects Connect2Sport, Sport Partnerships and Sport Beyond School.
