Active Schools Toolkit

Mauri mahi, mauri ora!

Get up and get moving!

Physical activity is for everyone - regardless of size, skill or ability. Physical activity is fun, easy and can be free. Physical activity can benefit learning as well as health.

Active schools toolkit cover.

SPARC has produced the Active Schools Toolkit to help schools develop a physical activity culture.

The Toolkit:

  • offers ideas for providing physical activity contexts and activity-based learning across the curriculum areas
  • provides easy ways to increase physical activity in co-curriculum areas
  • helps physical activity to become a part of daily life in the school community.

The Active Schools Toolkit will help New Zealand schools to meet new legislative requirements regarding physical activity. These requirements came into force on 1 January 2006 and are outlined in the National Education Goals and National Administration Guidelines.

Where schools can get the Toolkit
  • You can download Toolkit resources from this section of the website (use the left-hand menu).
  • Schools can get training (and the Toolkit) from their local regional sports trust.
