Active As: Inspiring Physical Activity and Well-Being at Waitākere College


The Active As initiative at Waitākere College is an exciting three-year programme designed to boost physical activity levels among students while promoting overall well-being. Launched in partnership with Sport New Zealand, this initiative has offered a variety of fun, inclusive, and accessible physical activity opportunities for all students.

The Active As initiative has allowed the school to introduce an exciting range of new sports to Waitākere College, including flag football, futsal, AFL, wrestling, boxing and more!

The initiative has also provided students with opportunities to engage in a wide variety of activities and sports before, during, and after school, encouraging them to stay active throughout the day.

As 2024 comes to a close, so does the successful first year of the Active As initiative. Explore the video here and photos for a glimpse into the impact and highlights of Active As at Waitākere College!
