Active Schools

To build a culture of activity into a community an important target is the young people of the community and the key to the success of this is to work with schools in Upper Hutt to increase participation in physical activity by facilitating and promoting a range of opportunities along the continuum from exploration to excellence.

The School Activator will assist the schools to increase physical activity by:

• promoting physical activity
• assisting schools with sport and physical activity events and programmes
• provide advice and monitoring information to schools

Upper Hutt Primary School Case Studies 2011 Below are two case studies from Primary Schools in the Upper Hutt Area. They detail a range of physical activity, physical education and health based initiatives implemented at the two schools. These can be used as examples for what schools can do in these two vital areas. Please note that this is no means an exhaustive or even extensive list of the possibilities that can be undertaken in the school environment, however these are two, highly proactive schools doing some wonderful work for their communities. Activation, the community recreation branch of the Upper Hutt City Council has developed these case studies as a school resource. Activation has had a large part to play in supporting these schools to achieve the amazing results detailed below. Whole school cultures have been radically changed and students, parents and staff appear motivated and fully engaged in the areas of health, physical activity and wellbeing. Activation have had a lead role in many of the wider programmes utilised by these schools such as GATE, HEHA, UVPSSA, Active Transport and many more.
