Sport and Recreation is Important

KingsWay School —

Community sport, recreation and physical activity in Auckland is at risk. You can do something about it.

Sport, recreation, physical activity – however it is described – requires recognition and investment in Auckland Council’s “refreshed” Auckland Plan and draft Long-term Plan (LTP) for 2018-28.

From the limited information available, there appears to be a proposed reduction in Council investment into sport and recreation. PLEASE READ the attached pdf document that details this.

We can do something about it

We need as many of our secondary school students, staff and parents to let Auckland Council know that sport and recreation is important!

Sport and Recreation does not have a separate consultation section in the Long Term Plan, you have to go under other to make a submission. Submissions close 28th March!

We would encourage parents and students in the Senior School to make a detailed submission by clicking the following link. (It will take 10 – 15 minutes).

AK Have Your Say feedback form.

For a quicker option go to the Auckland City Council Facebook page and post "Sport and Recreation matters", or "don’t cut spending on Sport and Recreation". For this to make a difference, you must include #akhaveyoursay

Each post is recorded. It’s as simple as that and Auckland Council will have to take notice.

Thank you for your support.
