Sport Waitākere - Cluster Schools

Since 2010 some of our West Auckland Schools have accessed funding through KiwiSport and latterly Tū Manawa, that supports wider funding directly from schools to provide play, active recreation, and sport opportunities for tamariki. In 2020, on the 10 th anniversary of this approach, the roles went through a transformation and they are now known as the Kaiwhakatō Hākinakina - (Physical Activity Facilitator). This was to reflect their important role of planting the seed of play, active recreation and sport to grow healthy active tamariki.

Kia ora, I’m Zoe and I work alongside Helen in the Green Bay/Titirangi cluster. My aim is to provide students with positive and quality experiences in play, active recreation and sport.

Kia ora, my name is Logan, and I am the Kaiwhakatō Hākinakina for the Massey cluster. I am committed to providing quality opportunities in play, active recreation, and sport so that our tamariki grow up to become lifelong participators in physical activity. Another key focus of mine is developing teachers’ ability and confidence in delivering these same opportunities for their students. I work with Massey Primary School, Hobsonville School, and Don Buck Primary School.
