oskill-hillsborough case study<br />
One of our most diverse Communities of Activity is Roskill-Hillsborough. It is more diverse in culture, education, and religion than<br />
national averages.<br />
There are areas of high deprivation, high levels of inactive females and less active tamariki. The area aligns with Sport Auckland’s<br />
strategy and purpose, which is why all aspects of our work can be seen in this community. Sport Auckland has also worked closely<br />
with the Roskill cluster of primary and intermediate schools for over ten years, and continues to influence sports clubs, community<br />
groups and Local Government in the Roskill-Hillsborough area.<br />

Mt Roskill Cluster Football Zones<br />
On 28 March <strong>2023</strong> our Mt Roskill Cluster Football Zones ran for the first time in 4 years with 400 enthusiastic<br />
tamariki in attendance. Covid restrictions and weather had impacted this event over the past few years.<br />
16 girls teams and 23 boys teams were registered for this event held at Keith Hay Park. 6 students with<br />
learning and physical impairments attended the event with help from Halberg Foundation and Auckland<br />
United Football.<br />
Overall, the event ran smoothly, "no scores were kept, Matt from Sport Auckland did a great job,<br />
also outstanding referees from Onehunga High School who represented their school well" - School<br />
Principal. Sport Auckland did note a learning for the next event; for the adapted sessions, we think it<br />
would be beneficial to engage with teachers and physios before the event so students with impairments<br />
could learn in class first.<br />
One Sport Auckland employee returned to the office after the event “I walked 20,000 steps today!”<br />
