CLUSTER SCHOOLS

​​​​​​​

Since 2010 some of our West Auckland Schools have accessed funding through KiwiSport and latterly Tū Manawa, to fund an activator position to provide play, active recreation, and sport opportunities for tamariki. Fortunately, schools have seen the value of these roles over the past 10 years and in some of the clusters, these positions will still continue despite not being funded any longer. The roles have gone through a transformation and they are now known as the Kaiwhakatō Hākinakina - (Physical Activity Facilitator). Planting the seed of play, active recreation and sport to grow healthy active tamariki.

Our Kaiwhakatō Hākinakina are now online! Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our Kaiwhakatō Hākinakina have made the switch to creating online content for teachers and tamariki. From live Zoom sessions with classes to creating Youtube videos with challenges, they have plenty of great ideas to help tamariki stay active and have fun at home.
