Participation

We know positive experiences for our tamariki and rangatahi are more likely to support a lifelong involvement in sport and physical activity. We will continue to support the development and delivery of quality opportunities and experiences that meet the needs, wants and aspirations of tamariki and rangatahi.

Water Skills for Life is a water skills-based programme incorporating 23 core in water skills and 8 theory-based skills for life-long water safety.   

Students are expected to have achieved all competencies by the time they enter secondary school as these skills are crucial for the safe lifelong enjoyment of aquatic activities in a range of environments. 

Water Skills for Life objectives are to: 

• ensure that all children in Years 0 – 8 in New Zealand acquire water safety competencies by learning Water Skills for Life 
• foster an intergenerational culture change and lifelong water safety learnings by delivering Water Skills for Life to improve children’s ability to keep themselves safe in, on and around the water.  

Developed by Aktive in 2023, Game Plan AKL aims to break down barriers and enable Year 9 students from selected schools/kura the opportunity to engage in sport and recreation, thanks to the support from generous donors.
