KIWISPORT

On 11 August the Prime Minister announced the introduction of Kiwisport, a new sport in schools initiative that aims to: -

Increase the numbers of school-age children participating in organised sport - during school, after school and by strengthening links with sports clubs
Increase the availability and accessibility of sport opportunities for all school-aged children and
Support children in developing skills that will enable them to participate effectively in sport at both primary and secondary level.

Kiwisport has two components:

A direct fund that will be made available to all schools via the Ministry of Education’s operational funding; and
A regional partnership fund that will be allocated to community projects via regional sports trusts (ie. Counties Manukau Sport).

Whilst the details of this initiative are still being finalised, there will be a clear focus on connecting schools and young people into their communities, through sports clubs. More information will be available right here as it becomes available.
