Active Schools aims to improve physical activity opportunities and experiences in our primary schools by:

• providing schools with a quality teaching resource outlining co-curricula and cross-curricula physical activity opportunities for kids throughout the school day
• working with teachers to help them get the most from the Active Schools teaching resource
• supporting collaborative school and community-wide physical activity planning.

Active Schools is also helping create the sports heroes of the future, giving children essential, basic physical skills early on.

Opoho School offers a wide range of physical activity both during and outside school hours. Some of these include: Miniball, teeball, hockey, netball, swimming tuition, jump jam, athletics, gymnastics, activ8, walk and wheels days and daily fitness.

Recently our Physical Activity Leaders (PALs) went to a leadership day at the Edgar stadium. They were able to experience several sports and activities such as soccer, ripper rugby, hockey, basketball, table tennis and wheelchair basketball. The skills they gained at the workshops will help them plan and organise the lunchtime activities they run for pupils at Opoho School.
