Abstract

A 6 week “Fun Ferns”

netball programme was run in two North Shore primary schools (Sunnybrae Normal School and Sunnynook Primary School) with the aim of introducing Chinese children to the game of netball and for them to gain increased confidence in sport as well as develop their basic ball, movement and game skills.

ActivAsian team has worked with these schools since September 2009 as they were identified as schools with high percentages of Chinese students in their ERO reports (11% Sunnynook and 18% Sunnybrae).
