Overview
SPARC is responding to falling physical activity levels among New Zealand primary school children with our Active Schools initiative.
Active Schools aims to improve physical activity opportunities and experiences in our primary schools by:
- providing schools with a quality teaching resource outlining co-curricula and cross-curricula physical activity opportunities for kids throughout the school day
- working with teachers to help them get the most from the Active Schools teaching resource
- supporting collaborative school and community-wide physical activity planning.
Active Schools is also helping create the sports heroes of the future, giving children essential, basic physical skills early on.
