What we want you to know?<br />
Continue to improve quality and access <strong>of</strong> facilities and venues<br />
ol<br />

I would like to see<br />
more inclusive facilities<br />
for trans, non-binary<br />
and gender non-confirming<br />
students to make us<br />
feel more comfortable<br />
and safe.<br />
I would like to<br />
play even when there<br />
is no training so maybe<br />
if they can open the<br />
gym during lunchtime<br />
or something then I<br />
would be very satisfied.<br />
A lot <strong>of</strong> the kids at school<br />
want to play basketball<br />
at lunchtime but we do not<br />
have a court to play on.<br />
So, unless you play rugby or<br />
football, we can’t play the<br />
sport we like.<br />
Improve range <strong>of</strong> activities on <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
I would like to see more opportunities<br />
for things that might not necessarily<br />
be sports, but still physical activity<br />
e.g., dance.<br />
It would be great to have more<br />
social teams available, because a lot <strong>of</strong><br />
the sports my friends and I want to join require<br />
trials and are competitive.<br />
Provide development opportunities or programmes<br />
I think it would be quite cool if the<br />
kids that don’t get in the best teams or<br />
be the best at a certain sport could still<br />
have an opportunity to improve their skills.<br />
The kids that get in all <strong>of</strong> the top teams get<br />
heaps <strong>of</strong> extra coaching and training, but<br />
I think that if the less successful kids got<br />
more opportunities to develop their skills the<br />
overall school sport could be improved, and<br />
some people could move up teams.<br />
More opportunities to try out<br />
the sport/physical activity before<br />
doing it to make it less scary<br />
when trying something new<br />
and signing up.<br />
I feel like some sports don’t<br />
really have a programme for<br />
beginners, but there’s only<br />
teams for competitions.<br />
Reduce costs to participate in physical activity<br />
The cost <strong>of</strong> most sports is the main reason I don’t do<br />
the sports. They are very expensive and although I have<br />
a passion for sports, I can’t do most <strong>of</strong> them because<br />
it’s just too expensive.<br />
It’s too expensive my parents<br />
can’t afford it, so I have to pick<br />
and choose between sports.<br />
Continue to ensure quality <strong>of</strong> teachers/coaches/<strong>of</strong>ficials<br />
I find it unfair how top sports<br />
teams get pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
coaches whereas the lower<br />
teams such as 2nd through<br />
to 4th teams get teachers,<br />
parents or even year 13s. You<br />
don’t learn as much and can’t<br />
reach your full potential.<br />
There are coaches for<br />
the main sports like<br />
netball, rugby, soccer<br />
and touch. But sports<br />
like volleyball is more a<br />
self-coached sport and<br />
not many opportunities<br />
to get better.<br />
They don’t understand<br />
things we say and think<br />
that you’re lying when<br />
you’re hurt, ….or need time<br />
to yourself. They care more<br />
about what shorts you’re<br />
wearing than your physical<br />
and mental well-being!
