Sport Auckland<br />
This year has seen Sport Auckland immersed in our<br />
communities and delivering a full year of our Strategic Plan<br />
<strong>2015</strong>-2018.<br />
Within our young people’s focus area, we continued to<br />
achieve significant success in fundamental movement,<br />
basic sports skills, and young people’s events via our four<br />
community cluster models in Tamaki, Maungakiekie,<br />
Roskill and Waitemata primary and intermediate schools.<br />
We have influenced the clusters<br />
to move away from “sport for<br />
sport’s sake” and replaced this<br />
with more meaningful and high<br />
impact initiatives that meet<br />
the needs of young people<br />
(participant focussed).<br />
Our cluster model adopts a hub and spoke approach<br />
where the schools agree to be the axis for sports clubs<br />
and programmes to engage with their student and parent<br />
communities. The key insights accentuate the point that<br />
this approach requires a long term presence and that each<br />
cluster is unique in its demographics, cultural diversity, wants<br />
and needs. Our cluster model needs to be flexible enough to<br />
address this uniqueness. All of our cluster schools took part<br />
in fundamental movement skills (FMS) programmes primarily<br />
focussed on Athletic New Zealand’s Get Set Go and Run Jump<br />
Throw programmes.<br />
Teacher personal development sessions were included to<br />
ensure sustainability of delivery for future years within the<br />
schools. Additionally, FMS workshops were delivered to<br />
tertiary students at The University of Auckland, Unitec and AUT,<br />
and to staff at Bear Park and PORSE Early Childhood centres.<br />
Our 35 “qualifying” primary schools also took part in the<br />
GAAAP swimming programme. We project managed over<br />
30 cluster events throughout the year that took place before,<br />
during and after school.<br />
We have successfully grown<br />
student leaders and critical<br />
thinkers and increased teacher<br />
confidence in delivering Physical<br />
Education.<br />
Under our Sport Sector Capability Build focus area,<br />
we delivered Growing Coaches courses, Growing Leaders<br />
courses, Introduction to Coaching courses and delivered<br />
TLC to two of our targeted secondary schools. In the club<br />
space we delivered governance workshops, sponsorship<br />
workshops, strategic planning sessions, volunteer<br />
management planning sessions and club warrant of fitness<br />
programmes to over 30 separate organisations. We continue<br />
to hold governance roles with Auckland Badminton Association<br />
and the Auckland Softball Charitable Foundation Trust.<br />
We continued to introduce our online “Develop Your Legacy<br />
Tool” (www.developyourlegacy.co.nz) to interested NSOs,<br />
RSOs, and clubs enhancing this tool from its original concept<br />
as an online repository library to one that will gather useful<br />
insights, intel and demographics of our stakeholder partners.<br />
This information will help shape strategies to assist making<br />
Auckland the most active city in the world.<br />
This year we combined with our local boards to deliver<br />
community wide workshops and forums around sponsorship<br />
and health & safety, with an aggregate attendance of 120<br />
participants.<br />
Our advocacy and influencing roles<br />
continue in the sector where we have<br />
helped organisations unlock financial<br />
resources for specific projects with the<br />
Grey Lynn Pump Track Association<br />
being one particular example of<br />
success with close to $100,000 being<br />
raised for their project.<br />
We performed outstandingly well in our health and wellness<br />
focus area, securing our first Active Families contract with<br />
the ADHB and attaining our Green Prescription (GRx) KPIs.<br />
The MoH summarised the last financial year stating in part<br />
“Eight providers met or exceeded all nine KPIs this time,<br />
the same as for last year and one fewer than in 2013/14…<br />
Other consistently high performers are (amongst others)<br />
Sport Auckland…”<br />
As we reflect on another successful year we also look forward<br />
to continuing our relationship with all our partners.<br />
We embrace our role as one of<br />
Aktive’s key delivery partners and<br />
look forward to delivering on the<br />
Auckland Approach over the next<br />
three years.
