Abstract
The results of the 2014 NZSSSC School Sport Census released recently show a continuation of the trend of recent years with 54% of students representing their school in sport in 2014, up 1% from the previous year.
While 1% seems a small increment, it actually represents more than 3000 extra students representing their school in sport since the previous year, and, since 2010 when the declining trend was reversed, the 3% increase equates to almost 10,000 additional students pulling on their school colours.”
The traditional sports continue to be strong in schools with Netball and Rugby each attracting around 30,000 students and remaining stable in terms of numbers over recent years. Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Touch, Hockey, Athletics, Badminton and Cricket round out the top 10 in terms of numbers of students involved.
The census data is very useful in informing school sport planning and change for both sporting bodies and schools. Schools are strongly encouraged to analyse trends over recent years in their own census data to best meet the needs of their students. Summary tables and charts showing topline national and regional census results are now available on the
