To support a healthy and thriving
Tamāki Makurau, Aktive and
our System Build Partners CLM
Community Sport, Harbour Sport,
Sport Auckland and Sport Waitākere
are working to ensure quality
physical activity experiences are
available for young people aged 5
to 18 years who are more likely to be
missing out on quality play, physical
education, active recreation, and
sport opportunities.
This kaupapa is underpinned by Korikori,
an approach with a focus on providing
quality experiences that will increase and
sustain participation by understanding
schools, kura, their ākonga, whānau and
communities.
Education settings provide the most
accessible and equitable spaces and
opportunities for tamariki and rangatahi
to experience regular quality structured
and unstructured play, physical
education, active recreation, and sport.
To further help our young people to
build healthy habits for life, Aktive and
our System Build Partners provide a
dedicated and skilled Healthy Active
Learning workforce. This team supports
200 Auckland primary and intermediate
schools to create healthy and active
learning environments, and better
connection to their local communities
(100 between 2020 and 2022, with a
further 100 from July 2022).
Healthy Active Learning is a joint
Government initiative between Sport
New Zealand and the Ministries of
Health and Education that seeks to
improve the wellbeing of children and
young people through healthy eating
and drinking, and quality physical
activity.
As detailed through evaluation,
Healthy Active Learning is making
positive differences in school culture,
physical activity opportunities, student
engagement in physical activity,
teacher confidence and practice, and
community connections.
He Oranga Poutama ki Tāmaki
Makaurau is continuing its
important mahi – increasing
opportunities for whānau to
explore, learn, and participate as
Māori in play, active recreation and
sport across Tāmaki Makaurau.
A national Sport New Zealand initiative,
He Oranga Poutama supports Māori
being able to participate ‘as Māori’,
recognising that a strong and secure
cultural identity supports accessibility
and is meaningful for wellbeing.

ki Tāmaki Makaurau team has continued
to provide valuable community support,
with notable results including:
• Over 1,900 people participated in the
He Oranga Poutama activities across

school setting during 2021/22,

Sport New Zealand’s support and

activities included young people aged

flexibility in how the Healthy Active
Learning team has approached its mahi
across Auckland.
• Although COVID-19 impacted the
delivery of He Oranga Poutama
programmes and events during much
of 2021/22, it also enabled space to
