Sport Beyond School is an Active Communities project primarily funded by Sport New Zealand, being piloted over three years (2013-2015) at the University of Auckland. The aim of the project is to retain school leavers in sport and recreation by creating a viable and sustainable pathway through tertiary institutions.

On July 1 2012, Sport Beyond School was formally established. Underpinned by the aim to ‘retain school leavers in sport and recreation by creating a viable and sustainable pathway through tertiary institutions’, Sport Beyond School has set out to address the evidence pointing to a large drop off in the participation of sport and recreation by those coming out of secondary school. Over the past 15 months  Sport New Zealand, the University of Auckland, Auckland Council, Sport Auckland, Counties Manukau Sport, Harbour Sport, Sport Waitakere and College Sport have been collaborating together in the Sport Beyond School project to address this issue.

Through this website there are links to interesting reports and key findings of school leaver/tertiary engagement in sport.
