Abstract

In this chapter, the authors provide an historical overview of the link between education, physical education and sport in New Zealand secondary schools. In particular, they consider: key events since 1900 that have influenced the role of sport in secondary school; the relationship between sport and physical education; how Sport and Recreation New Zealand (SPARC) and the Regional Sports Trusts (RST) have become key players in the promotion of sport in schools; and the difference between, and impact of, a sport for all and high-performance philosophy of sport in schools.
