SPORTSHORTS TERMS 1 & 2 - 2009

Michael Wright MP

Minister for Industrial Relations

Minister for Finance Minister for Government Enterprises

Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing

Welcome to the first edition of Sportshorts for 2009.

As a new school year starts, it is the perfect time for students and teachers alike to encourage each other to continue to or become physically active and learn new skills. It is also a wonderful opportunity to get involved those who may not currently undertake sufficient levels of physical activity.

Findings of the 2007 Physical Activity Survey of South Australian Adults and the National Children’s Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey have recently been released. These show that more South Australian adults are getting the message about looking after themselves and doing more physical activity. Around 85,000 more South Australians are now doing regular physical activity than in 1998. This is good news for most of our adult population where the be active message appears to be making a real impact.

However, according to the findings children and people older than 60 are slightly less active. The majority of SA children fell behind national averages in the following:

♦ healthy weight for their height (71% SA v 72% nationally)

♦ overweight and obese children (24.2% SA v 22.9%)

♦ number of 9 to16 year olds who met the Physical Activity Recommendations for moderate to vigorous physical activity of 60 minutes a day (67% SA v 69%).

Of particular interest was the fact that girls reported lower levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity than boys. Participation in organised sport peaked around the ages of 11 to 13, and then declined, especially for girls. It is clear that the ‘drop out’ rate from organised sport and physical activity remains a significant challenge for schools and sport organisations alike, especially for disadvantaged youth.

Helping to promote the value of sport and physical activity in the lives of all young people will be former Port Power captain Gavin Wanganeen. Gavin has been appointed by the Government, as an Ambassador for Youth opportunity and will be working with six government agencies including DECS. His role will involve promoting a healthy lifestyle and positive life choices for young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The ORS will also engage Gavin to help promote the be active message by supporting programs involving culturally and linguistically diverse communities (CALD), youth at risk and indigenous youth.

I encourage all schools to look at ways they can build on Gavin’s message and create further opportunities for their students to become more physically active. This involvement can extend from traditional physical education classes to the broader sport and recreation programs on offer in schools and the wider community.


Sportshorts offers a smorgasbord of quality organisations and programs that schools can tap into to broaden the physical activity menu for their students. From basketball to bocce, sailing to surf life saving, opportunities are there to open the door to a lifetime of physical activity for your students.

While the Schools Network has concluded, ORS will continue its networking role by providing information and advice to schools across a broad range of areas including junior sport development, harassment-free sport, student leadership and programs for targeted populations.

I would like to offer my sincere thanks to those individuals and organisations who, along with the South Australian Government, are striving to get more South Australians actively involved in sport and recreation. The support and encouragement they are providing, particularly to young people, will ensure the future of the recreation and sport industry in South Australia, and contribute to the future well-being of it’s people.

Keeping Children Safe in Recreation and Sport A handy resource for volunteers who help with school sport. The efforts of community volunteers who assist schools by taking on the roles of sport coaches, managers, officials, referees and supervisors, deserve our thanks and commendation. Without their valued contribution, school sport could not operate to the extent it currently does. In recognizing this invaluable support, the Office for Recreation and Sport (ORS), with the assistance of Families SA, is pleased to offer a new resource booklet titled Keeping Children Safe in Recreation and Sport to help community volunteers better understand the issues and responsibilities surrounding child protection in the sport setting. Schools and sports coordinators have a duty of care to ensure their sport volunteers are kept informed and aware of their responsibilities to ensure the safety and well being of all young participants under their care. In a straightforward and non-threatening manner, this booklet provides important information for sports volunteers by providing information and checklists that help explain their legal obligation to report any suspected child abuse and/or neglect. It is hoped that by clarifying the issues up front and in a positive fashion, our school sport volunteers will feel more comfortable and confident in continuing to volunteer their services. The ultimate outcome is more young people participating in a quality, fun and safe sporting environment. The booklet can be downloaded from the ORS website at www.recsport.sa.gov.au/resources-publications/resources-publications.

RECREATIONAL TRAILS IN SA

South Australia has a spectacular outdoor environment and what better way to explore it than along one of our recreation trails. Whether you want to walk, cycle, paddle, dive or horse ride there is a trail for you. From the city to the outback, with landscapes ranging from rolling hills, to dramatic coastline and rugged outback ranges, many of SA’s trails have interesting stories to tell about the country, wildlife and history along the way. The Trails SA website (www.southaustraliantrails.com) has information on a range of trails that can be searched by experience, region, activity or even level of difficulty. The Trails SA website also has other useful information such as travel tips, events and links to other great websites to guide you in your trails adventure. In addition to the information you can access on the Trails SA website, there are a number of publications available free of charge. One such publication is “40 Great South Australian Short Walks”. This handy booklet covers walks around SA ranging from 45-minute walks to five-hour hikes. If you are after an adventure of a different sort, there is the Eagle Mountain Bike Park, just 20 minutes up the Freeway from the CBD. The 124-hectare Park has beginner to advanced trails as well as a skills park and dirt jumps area. While the physical activity benefits of trails are obvious, the educational benefits are also a unique opportunity for schools looking for a different venture for their students. The natural environment and cultural history of areas that trails run through is often equally as significant as the trails themselves. For further information on trails within South Australia please visit www.southaustraliantrails.com or call the Office for Recreation and Sport on 7424 7766.


Premier’s be active Challenge Goes from strength to strength in 2008

Congratulations to the students, teachers and parents who participated in the 2008 Premier’s be active Challenge! More than 24 000 South Australian students from 256 schools across the State have met the challenge to be more physically active last year. This more than trebled the number of completions from 2007. The Challenge asks students from Reception to Year 9 to be active for at least 60 minutes a day, five days a week, for up to 10 weeks. Through the Challenge, young South Australians not only learn about the health benefits of regular physical activity, including the prevention of heart disease and diabetes, but that being active is great fun, especially when friends and family are also involved. Awards Students who completed the Challenge were awarded medals, including the first ever silver medals for two years of involvement in the Challenge. In November 2008, fifty of the State’s high achieving schools were presented with a certificate and $1 000 of sporting equipment each during the Premier’s Reception at ETSA Park. In 2009, gold medals will be presented for the fist time to students who have completed three years of the Challenge. Ambassadors Students have been motivated to lead healthier lifestyles by the 11 Premier’s be active Challenge Ambassadors – top South Australian sportspeople – who have visited schools across the State. In 2009 we will introduce seven new ambassadors to meet the demand for school visits. Visits can be arranged by completing the online form. What participants thought The feedback from school communities about this year’s Premier’s be active Challenge has been very positive including some examples below: “…my son loved the challenge and would come home and go outside and play rather than watch TV like he would normally do. He would tell he me was going outside to do his PE homework!!” Sarah, Year 2 mum. “…my son was a bit shy and not all that sporty. He never really showed any interest in sport. Now he is outside a lot more and while he is not quite ready for a footy team, he does ride his bike and skateboard a lot more.” Julie,Year 6 mum. Tenison Woods College We are now one of the fittest classes in the school, having completed 10 weeks of the Premier’s be active Challenge. This was a challenge in the recent wet weather, however the children all enjoyed the extra physical activities and their skills in different areas have developed further. We have also been linking our health and fitness to Maths, exploring concepts of mass, time, length, perimeter and area. Many of our Literacy and Numeracy tasks related to the Olympics. A very busy term! Magill Junior Primary Following our registration as participants in the Premier’s be active Challenge we decided that we would have a twenty minute physical activity period at the start of each school day. Our activities have included: juggling, dancing, tennis, skipping, completing obstacle courses, power walking both around our school and around the neighbourhood, ribbon dancing, cricket, basketball, hopscotch, gardening in our ELC and as a special treat we recently spent a very active day at the beach. What we didn’t realise was just how popular our early morning sessions would become, with parents and teachers participating. We decided to continue with the sessions for the rest of the year and found that our pupils were coming to school early to ensure that they didn’t miss out on any of our activities. We are proud of the fact that we have achieved a one hundred percent completion of the Challenge and will be awarding the medals at our end of year prize giving evening. We are very grateful to the Premier’s be active Challenge for encouraging us in developing a healthy body to complement our healthy minds. Massada College Contact us The Premier’s be active Challenge for 2009 started again on the first day of Term 1.

SPORTS ABILITY Sports Ability provides a unique opportunity to develop inclusive sport opportunities for young people with and without disabilities. It allows you, in lessons, to cater for students with a wide range of abilities. Sports Ability provides the basis for the integration of all students. Sports Ability is presented in a flexible format that enables it to be used in a variety of school settings. It can be utilised to support existing curriculum for the delivery of Physical Education and Sport. Sports Ability can provide the basis for an inclusive sport carnival or to provide young people with disabilities to participate in existing sport competitions. Sports Ability adopts a social or environmental approach to the involvement of young people with a disability. This approach concentrates on the ways in which teachers, coaches and sports leaders can adjust, adapt and modify the way in which an activity is delivered rather than focus on an individual’s disability. The Sports Ability program is based around five activities: Sports Ability comes with a set of activity cards, which show the basic rules of each game, as well as additional activities that can be used.

How can you access Sports Ability?

A number of Sports Ability Kits can be accessed through the Office for Recreation and Sport, be active Field Officers and DECS District Officers Sports Ability demonstration sessions and training can be arranged by contacting: Email: [email protected] Phone: 7424 7605 Fax: 7424 7674

Goalball is a sport developed for players who have a visual impairment; an exciting invasion game introducing new challenges to both sighted and vision impaired players. Goal Ball is a Paralympic Sport and by introducing it to the school setting more young people are exposed and the sport can grow.

Sitting volleyball is a seated version of volleyball. This is an activity that can be enjoyed by players of all ages and abilities

Boccia is a bowls-type target game played at the Paralympics. It is suitable for use across a school site. Boccia is played indoors and can be played all year round.

Polybat is an accessible version of table tennis. Polybat is can be played on any table. Ideally it is suited to being played on a table tennis table. By simply adding sides to the table and playing with a flat bat the game is able to provide a challenge to students of all ages and abilities.

Table cricket is a dynamic table version of cricket. It is played on a table and is suitable for students of all ages and all abilities.


TALENT SEARCH

The South Australian Sports Institute (SASI) is continuing to search for potentially gifted athletes through the TALENT SEARCH Program. TALENT SEARCH is designed to identify students who may possess the physical and physiological attributes to be successful at sport’s highest level.

Every secondary school in South Australia is invited to participate in the TALENT SEARCH Program. The process commences with an appraisal of basic physical and

performance data on Year 8-10 students, which is collected and submitted to SASI by physical education staff. Promising students are subsequently invited to further testing by SASI and may continue on to talent development programs. The tests in this initial stage (Phase 1 testing) are common ones, regularly undertaken in schools to determine the physical fitness of the students. This data is sent to the SASI TALENT SEARCH Unit for processing. All participating students receive a result certificate with their scores, averages for their class and year, and how they compare to national norms. Students attaining an

exceptionally high result on a combination of the tests, are invited, via their Physical Education coordinators, to further testing by SASI (Phase 2 testing). Data from the Phase 2 testing is then scrutinised by the SASI TALENT SEARCH Coordinator and SASI coaches. Selected students are invited to attend an information evening at SASI and to then join the respective Talent Development squads, overseen by SASI. These developmental programs are usually organised in conjunction with representatives from State Sporting Organisations. The TALENT SEARCH Program is all about providing an opportunity for students to succeed in an area for which they are inherently predisposed. Each and every student from South Australian Secondary Schools is potentially afforded these opportunities; however, this can only occur if PE staff collect and submit results. To assist in this process, TALENT SEARCH is offering to come to Secondary Schools in the metropolitan area, with staff and equipment, to assist with the administration of the fitness tests. For more information please visit www.recsport.sa.gov.au For more information on the SASI Talent Search Program, please contact: Annette Eastwood Talent Search Coordinator Phone: 7424 7696 Fax: 7424 7755 [email protected].
