2. Sport NZ Physical Literacy Approach
Physical literacy is
“the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding required by participants that allows them to value and take responsibility for engaging in physical activity and sport for life”.
Margaret Whitehead 2013

3. Sport New Zealand Young Peoples Plan
Critical Success Factors
We will equip Young People to have a lifelong love of being physically active by ensuring that: 
To ensure young people in New Zealand are physically literate – Physical, Cognitive, Emotional and Social and Spiritual
To ensure young people’s experiences are high quality, stage appropriate and enjoyable
To ensure young people are positively influenced, encouraged and supported
To ensure young people can access quality opportunities
To ensure young people can participate and compete to the level of their aspiration
To ensure young people are empowered to shape their community sport experience

4. Our Task
We will split into four groups with each group focusing on a cohort of the school population
Within these groups you will be responsible for coming up with the following:
An Event/s & Management Plan
Media
Success Criteria
What next?

5. Group 1 – Co-Ed School 350 students. 70% of students fully engaged
Group 1 – Co-Ed School 350 students. 70% of students fully engaged. How do we grab the other 30% Group 2 – All boys school 1500 students. Low engagement in activity at lunchtimes. Ideas to stimulate interest. Group 3 – 7 students who are completely disengaged with sport and recreation. What roles can they fulfil within this concept of intraschool sport provision Group 4 – All girls special character school. 300 students. Mass participation opportunity and what happens next.

6. LUNCHTIME LEADERS Concept
Student led activities program that caters for all students
Increase the ‘culture of participation’ within schools
How
TSSSA to initiate a Student Leadership group within each school and provide leadership opportunities for the group
Work with group to research needs of their peers
Establish a program of events that runs for a 6 week block each term
MARKETING!
Funding
Kiwisport – each school has a $2500 budget to spend on activities to increase the culture of participation
Success
Measured through student engagement, not numbers participating

8. It started off slowly……
3 senior girls instructing and their mates….
A couple of the juniors joined in….

9. Their mates got involved…

10. In 10 minutes this activity went from 8 people participating and around 15 watching to over 100 participating and 150 watching
If you weren’t involved you became the odd one out!

11. What next In isolation that event would have meant nothing
The leadership group used events like this to keep students interested throughout the program and also to associate cool things that happen at lunchtime with them
To date they have run:
Aerobics, Zorb Balls, Pilates, Indoor Bowls, Fast 5 Netball, Turbo Touch, Bootcamp and Boxfit
Every event has been free for students to take part
Every school has given positive feedback around student involvement, be that as an organiser, supporter or participant.
Students are inquiring as to when the next activity will take place

12. Key Learnings to date
Programs have worked best in schools that have staff actively working with the leadership group The leadership group need to meet every week to stay on task & have key members assign specific roles Leadership group needs a lot of help with marketing! The very best examples have linked into wider school goals – ie. Greater engagement in classtime after interval etc No school has yet to spend their full budget

13. Modified Sport Week & The McKean Shield Concept
Completely different offering of sport was needed:
More Social – Music, BBQ, Fun games between matches, teacher teams
No entry cost
Take the focus off winning – games are still competitive but winning the competition is not the outcome of participation
Continuous play throughout the day with small breaks between games
Round robin format – teams regrouped after 3 games
More opportunity for ‘like – skilled’ matches
Teams of 5
Games are self officiated

14. McKean Shield
Our version of the Ranfurly Shield A school that holds the Shield must try to defend it throughout the day All teams from a school must defend the shield before the same team can have a second go at defending it – ensures that not only the ‘top teams’ get to play for the shield If you can successfully defend the shield 10 times or more your school name on the shield

15. Strongest person competition
House competition
All ages and different categories for each grade
Each activity was available twice a week
5 events in total
Top five students in each category were given bonus points
Anyone who attempted it got a point
Trophies were made and given out to the top male and female in each category

16. Events Monkey bar swing Medicine ball throw Rope climb Sled Pull
Prone hold

17. What surprised me
Participation in the event – 114 students took part in the event
78 students took part in all 5 events
In that year participation in sport increased to 85%
In 2011 we didn’t run the event and the students had a go at me
Computers room usage dropped to about 10 students on average at lunch time

18. What would I do differently
Have more help from other staff?????????
Run more events through out the year
Tie things to house points
Ask students for input
