Introduction
Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa is a fund provided by Sport NZ for community organisations, including schools and kura, to deliver physical activity opportunities for tamariki and rangatahi.
Where these opportunities are planned to occur in a school/kura setting in curriculum time, and involve an external provider, there are additional factors to consider to ensure the Tū Manawa funding is used not to replace the role of the teacher or kaiako and/or curriculum teaching and learning, but instead, to enhance, support and complement the learning aims identified by the school/kura.
Sport NZ acknowledges that teachers/kaiako are the best equipped and qualified to make decisions about the learning experiences they believe respond to the needs of their students in their local environments, to plan and teach lessons that meet those needs, and to assess the learning.
Some proposed projects/programmes that involve an external provider may complement the kura or school’s planned learning programmes; however, those applications that are planned to be delivered during in curriculum time need to be applied for by either the school/kura; or by the external provider in partnership with the school/kura.
This support document should act as a guide for a discussion and evidence collation between the school/kura and the external provider. A separate form should be completed by each school/kura lead involved in this project/programme.
This form must be completed and accompany the Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa application.
