Tēnā koutou katoa. 

A warm welcome everyone to quarter 1 of 2021. 

After the tumultuous start to the year, our strong community spirit has come to the 

fore through our continued resilience, compassion, empathy and kindness that we 

have shown to one another throughout this pandemic and lockdowns. There appears a 

genuineness to continue to look after each other’s wellness. Which segues nicely into 

Sport Auckland’s purpose – “to inspire our communities to live healthy and active 

lifestyles.” 

As part of our commitment to keeping you all informed about what we are doing we 

aim to distribute Moving Together on a regular, quarterly basis. This Summer Edition 

contains information around our current work, some insights in the roles our staff play 

and information around future events and funding. 

Sport Auckland’s operations in its simplistic form is divided between two distinct but 

inter-related pieces of charitable work. We deliver two Health & Wellness programmes 

(Green Prescription and Active Families); and a Community Sport programme. The latter 

is delivered in partnership alongside Aktive, Sport Waitākere, Harbour Sport and CLM 

Community Sport. The five of us work to a strategy we call The Auckland Approach to 

Community Sport. This strategy aims to find workable, innovative solutions that allow 

increased participation in play, sport, and active recreation for our communities in need. 

There is an emphasis to work with tamariki and rangatahi (and in turn with those who 

support them) to provide quality opportunities to participate in physical activity, in all its 

shapes and forms, and a focus of delivering wellness to our community. 

We aim to make a positive impact of epic proportions on peoples’ lives. We are 

community focussed. Our wonderful and engaged staff are guided by the locally-led 

framework where we come to you and listen to your needs. As advocators, connectors, 

influencers and change agents we work with you to find solutions to your needs. We 

help remove the barriers, inequities and unconscious bias that exist which prevent our 

communities from being able to live healthy and active lifestyles. 

I hope you find this first edition of Moving Together enlightening and that there is a 

clearer understanding of the work that we are funded to do. You can read more about 

us on our website www.sportauckland.co.nz 

Best Wishes. 

Kia kaha.

FUND UPDATE 

Sport Auckland is proudly facilitating the 

Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund on behalf 

of Sport NZ within the Central Auckland and 

Howick region. 

This funding is available for projects or programmes that 

specifically aim to deliver play, active recreation and sport 

experiences for tamariki and rangatahi, who are inactive, 

possibly due to a range of barriers such as cost, travel, low 

confidence etc. and would otherwise miss the opportunity 

for such activities without targeted efforts. 

The funding is focused on groups who are more at risk of 

missing out, identified as those living with a disability, in 

higher deprivation communities and girls and young women. 

Through Sport Auckland, two funding options are available 

for application: 

• Fast Fund applications, of up to $10,000 can be applied 

for at any time, and; 

• Local fund applications of requests exceeding $10,000 are 

considered twice a year through funding rounds. 

APPLY 

HERE NOW 

Applications for Fast Fund can be made at any time. 

Applications for Local Fund Round #2 are open and 

close on 29 March 2021. 

Moving Together will highlight within each issue how, 

through the provision of Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa Funding, 

successful applicants are making a difference.

RECIPIENT PROFILE 

SAILABILITY AUCKLAND 

One of the first recipients is Sailability Auckland, 

the oldest Sailability group in New Zealand, who 

have been operating since 1991. 

They recently received $7,000 of funding from the Tū 

Manawa Active Aotearoa fund, which will go towards 

introducing people with disabilities to sailing and teach them 

how to sail. This programme, is much more than just plain 

sailing, for some it will be the first sport they can actively 

participate in. 

The outcomes that Sailability Auckland aims to achieve 

through being a recipient of this funding are: 

• Increasing participation of people with disabilities in 

sailing 

• Creating a sense of belonging through empowering 

people with disabilities to become more engaged with 

their community and removing the feelings of isolation 

• Providing a space for families and supporters to share 

experiences and offer informal support and social 

interaction.

A PEEK INSIDE – 

SPORT AUCKLAND 

COMMUNITY SPORT ADVISORS 

4 

Sport Auckland’s Community Sport team aim 

to inspire our communities to lead healthy and 

active lifestyles through building the capability 

of community groups and sports clubs to provide 

quality physical activity experiences. 

We do this by providing leadership, advice and expertise 

to identified priority groups including sports organisations, 

sports clubs, schools and other community organisations. 

Moving Together spoke to three of Sport Auckland’s 

Community Sport Advisors about the variety of work they 

do and the impact they believe Sport Auckland is delivering 

within our communities. 

Caitlin Molloy has been with Sport Auckland for one and a 

half years. Her role focuses on women and girls, developing 

and leading coaching programmes, spaces and places work 

and assisting community clubs to build capability within the 

Maungakiekie, Tāmaki and Ōrākei local board areas. 

Having been with Sport Auckland for just under two years, 

Haree Titoko is focused on the Tāmaki schools cluster. 

As a Healthy Active Learning Community Connector she is 

constantly looking at innovative and creative ideas to provide 

opportunities for quality physical activity that will enhance the 

experiences for tamariki within this cluster. 

Malo Sumich-Kainiu has worked within the Community 

Sport team for three years. Focusing on priority groups within 

the community, he brings his great attitude to turn traditional 

challenges of culture and language barriers into a positive 

active experience for all. 

What does a typical week look like for you? 

All agree there is no such thing as a typical week in the 

Community Sport team which is the main reason they all love 

their role. Caitlin explains, “Some weeks we’re out in the 

community, running workshops, helping at school events 

and other weeks we’re in the office planning for upcoming 

events, providing strategy to identified organisations and 

more.” 

What are the two best things about your role? 

Caitlin says, “One of the best things about working in this 

team is seeing the positive impact we can have on the 

community by delivering a variety of ways for them to be, 

or become, physically active and provide ways for them to 

upskill. The second is the amazing people I meet out in the 

community.” 

Haree agrees, “Firstly, it’s the community I serve. Secondly, 

that no matter what background you come from we can 

all play a pivotal role for tamariki to reach their highest 

aspirations and dreams through being active.” 

Malo adds that he loves meeting the community, and the 

work he does at Sport Auckland continues to inspire him to 

lead a healthier lifestyle, “My colleagues keep me motivated 

and on-task - no easy task!” 

What is the most challenging aspect of your role? 

Haree comments that for her it’s ensuring all tamariki are 

given equal opportunity to participate or learn new skills. 

“With the new funding initiative, Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa, 

we not only focus on sport but active recreation and play! I’m 

excited to see the impact this funding will create.” 

All three know first-hand that it can be difficult to change 

the perceptions people have from long standing traditions. 

Caitlin adds, “Over time, when they see the difference being 

active makes, it allows them to understand the benefits and 

embrace the change.” 

What is one thing that you don’t think people 

know about Sport Auckland? 

Malo says, “Our purpose, why we are here and what we 

offer. There’s so much that we can do within the community 

to get everyone leading healthy and active lifestyles.” 

Haree points out all of the resources the team has onhand 

to help organisations and communities to get started. 

“We’re able to assist with strategic planning, governance, 

leadership and more. Of course, the team is here to provide 

advice and expertise to support our communities.” 

Caitlin continues, “Sport Auckland is not only about 

traditional sports, we strive to help all Aucklander’s see 

the value in moving their body for an active and healthy 

lifestyle.” She finishes with, “Community sport needs 

everyone, no matter how small you think your contribution is, 

it goes a long way to offering communities the opportunity to 

stay active.”


FRESH AIR AND EXERCISE 

IS THE GREEN ALTERNATIVE 

Sport Auckland delivers the Green Prescription 

(GRx) service, a free health and wellbeing 

programme for adults 18 years and over and Green 

Prescription Active Families intended for whānau 

with children aged 5-17 years. 

The programmes can be accessed through a referral by any 

health professional or self-referral. Both programmes work in 

parallel to support and motivate participants to get active and 

improve their lifestyle. 

The Sport Auckland Green Prescription programme provides 

access to a variety of options in the community and online that 

incorporate physical activity, healthy eating education, self 

management and goal setting techniques to enhance wellbeing. 

The programme is delivered via face-to-face, over the phone or 

through virtual consultations, group-based community nutrition 

and wellbeing programmes, live online webinars and exercise 

sessions. 

To access either of these services visit www.sportauckland.co.nz 

or call 0800 ACTIVE from anywhere in New Zealand. 

TIMETABLE OF ONLINE ACTIVITIES 

During the 2020 lockdowns, the team continued to encourage 

participants to stay active and look after their mental health 

and wellbeing by utilising online platforms such as Zoom and 

Facebook. The positive impact from these sessions has resulted 

in a dedicated on-line programme featuring a vast array of 

activities, information and Q&A opportunities.

The Health & Wellness team delight in seeing participants who have embraced the mindset to change their activity levels and focus on a 

healthier lifestyle. Nothing motivates us more than understanding the personal impact the programme can have on various participants. 

With a full family history of depression and mental health struggles, Nicola shares her story of how being a participant in the 

Sport Auckland Green Prescription programme has helped her on her journey: 

My mom has battled with depression all her life and my brother 

suffered through debilitating bipolar disorder before ending his life 

in 2017. I had just moved to New Zealand when that happened and 

couldn’t get back to South Africa to see my family. I headed down 

a black hole for a good year and just as I was coming out of it, I fell 

pregnant with my fourth baby. Knowing I had a history of postnatal 

depression after two of my babies, my midwife immediately flagged 

me as a high risk for it again. 

Baby was around 7 months old when COVID-19 hit sending me 

back into that hole. I was ok on my meds during the first lockdown 

but the second one in August hit me hard. I thought I’d get my body 

right and focus on my physical health once my mental health was 

stable, so put my head down and started doing the work for that to 

happen. At that time, my best friend had started Green Prescription 

to lose weight, she recommended I have a chat with my doctor who 

was happy to refer me to the Green Prescription programme. I had a 

consult and started on this journey; you were the first face I saw on 

the screen. 

I liked that I could participate without having to leave my home or 

find someone to watch my baby. I didn’t even have to say anything, 

I could just show up, work out and carry on with my day. Some days 

that was literally all I accomplished in a day. Having this regular 

routine was just the beginning but it gave me a reason to get up and 

try. The exercises didn’t feel out of my reach or way over my head 

and your simple concise explanations and demonstrations made it 

seem like it wasn’t difficult, just moving my body. 

My ‘a-ha’ moment started with the online exercise class and then my 

brother encouraged me to download My Fitness Pal and understand 

what I was eating. I started tracking my food which gave me a huge 

awareness in a short space of time. I’m now sticking to my calorie 

goal and enjoying eating out with friends occasionally. The fact that 

I even want to be out with friends is actually huge for me! 

That’s when the magic started to happen. The combination of the 

exercise and watching what I was eating resulted in me dropping 

7kg between October and now and people started commenting. 

The miracle is not the weight I’ve lost, it was realising that I’d had it 

wrong this whole time. I thought that sorting out the mental health 

would give me the resources to change my physical health, when it’s 

worked in totally the opposite direction for me. Getting active has 

improved my mental health remarkably and I’m honestly feeling the 

most capable and competent that I’ve felt in over four years. 

What I’m trying to say is thank you. For running the programme, for 

giving me something to show up to and for the vast difference 

I feel in myself. You’ve made a difference in my life.

healthY active learning initiative 

As part of the Government’s 2019 Wellbeing budget, Healthy 

Active Learning is a joint initiative from the Ministry of Health, 

Ministry of Education and Sport New Zealand. 

The programme focuses on supporting schools and kura to improve the 

wellbeing of tamariki through quality physical experiences and supporting 

schools in delivering healthy food and water only policies. It’s based on a 

successful pilot programme and in 2020 it was rolled out to 300 schools 

nationwide. In 2022 the initiative will be expanded to 800 schools. 

Sport Auckland has partnered with schools in our Tāmaki, Maungakiekie 

and Roskill communities to provide them with practical support, assist with 

enhanced Health and Physical Education curriculum delivery, encourage 

physical activity and promote healthy nutrition.

Schools and kura to make

Schools and kura to strengthen 

their connection with their 

wider community, including 

whānau and local health and 

physical activity providers. 

Even in the challenging environment of Covid-19, the Sport 

Auckland team has had success assisting schools via this 

initiative: 

HAY PARK SCHOOL – A STORY OF SUCCESS 

The Sport Auckland Healthy Active Learning (HAL) team had initial meetings 

with the principal to discuss outcomes, wants and needs resulting in the team 

establishing a constructive programme for the school. 

The team provided support around four key areas: 

• After school professional learning and development 

• Healthy Active Learning Opportunities regional workshop, which was 

attended by all the teachers 

• Modelling, team teaching and lesson observations 

• Support delivering PE lessons immediately post COVID-19 lockdown. 

The key change will become evident throughout 2021 – but the teachers at 

Hay Park School now have a better understanding of the Health and Physical 

Education curriculum and how it can be used effectively to meet the needs of 

their learners. 

The teachers involved are developing their confidence in leading learning 

in physical education, our goal is to continue this, providing guidance and 

support throughout. Overall, this should reduce the reliance they have on 

external providers to cater for PE requirements, we see the Sport Auckland 

Community Connector playing a role in supporting the school with this phase. 

One great example of the confidence this process has provided to the school 

was highlighted by Healthy Active Learning Advisor Greg Burne “I could not 

make it out to an observed lesson late in the unit. A senior teacher, who was 

very unsure to begin with, was fine to run the session with no supervision. 

“We know what to do now and it will be good for us to lead the way!” were 

his exact words.” 

Sport Auckland Healthy Active Learning team is excited to 

continue to engage and support schools to showcase the 

importance of quality physical play.


SUPPORTING OUR 

COMMUNITY 

NICKY OGILVIE, 

Sports Coordinator, Waiheke High School 

What is your role at Waiheke High School? 

As Sports Coordinator, my role is to create opportunities for our 

students to be involved with sport activity before, during and 

after school. I communicate our activities, especially to parents 

so they know what opportunities are available for their children 

to get involved in. One of the fun parts is sharing Waiheke High 

School’s sporting achievements and events on our social media 

page – the students love admiring their own sporting prowess 

and it’s great to celebrate alongside them and share it with the 

community. 

What type of Sport Auckland initiatives have you been 

involved in at Waiheke High School and what is the impact 

that you have seen from these initiatives within the school? 

Sport Auckland is really proactive with us, and provides 

introductions and connections to people outside of our 

knowledge bubble! They have provided guidance on how best 

to grow our year 9+ sport leagues as this is an area our school 

is focused on growing. During lockdown, Sport Auckland helped 

connect everyone with the huge amount of information needed 

through forums or zoom calls which was immensely helpful. 

Perfect example is their encouragement for us to collaboratively 

partner with local sporting codes and clubs. Leanne Knox 

Regional Sports Director and Rory McKenzie, Community Sport 

Advisor from Sport Auckland, attended a session hosted by 

Waiheke High School and local clubs at the beginning of 2020 to 

highlight the coaching tool resources available and other funding 

avenues. We wanted to specifically grow coaching initiatives 

around our parents and community in our sporting codes, and 

Sport Auckland was able to put us in touch with organisations to 

start conversations...this has come to fruition with a basketball 

team set up for 2021. 

What support do you receive from 

Sport Auckland to achieve the result? 

Over and above the guidance and support, 

Leanne encouraged us to apply for funding 

from the Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund. 

We submitted two applications, the first was to 

help purchase mountain biking equipment for our 

comprehensive outdoor education programme to encourage as 

many students to partake. The second application was focused 

on our basketball teams. With a new outdoor basketball court 

and our indoor court in the recreation centre, we really want 

to develop our students basketball skills using our school 

infrastructure. Through Sport Auckland sharing the funding 

opportunity and knowing our school’s objectives and needs, we 

were successful for both grants which we’re really excited about! 

How does this support help your community/school? 

With our basketball funding, we are encouraging parents and 

players to become involved and take part in a coaching course 

and develop this further for our older students. Basketball is a 

real team sport for the students who want to get involved, and 

we want to provide them with the chance to play a sport that 

hasn’t previously featured strongly within school activities. 

Like every school, we have students who can’t afford to partake 

in our mountain biking activities. With the help of the Tu Manawa 

funding, they can now be part of an activity that takes them 

outdoors, develops new skills and friendships. We purchased 

the bikes locally, which also assists our local community with the 

capital staying on the island and saving us freight costs. 

What would you like to see more of within the school/ 

activity/sport community? 

Being on an Island, more funding for travel. 

We’d also love to see more parent involvement in team sports, as 

our teachers can’t always train the students and then take them 

over every week for sport competitions or leagues. We feel very 

blessed when a parent or community coach gets involved and 

takes over this role, it makes things so much easier. 

What makes you passionate about the work that you do? 

Giving students the chance to feel fit, healthy and potentially 

excel in anything sporty. Our school does a great job of nurturing 

our students in all things academic, but my job is to give all 

students a chance to shine as sportspeople in their own right.

–Stonefields school Year 7 student. 

Sport Auckland was able to deliver this 

great event thanks to Waikowhai primary, 

the Halberg Foundation and Parafed.
