Abstract
The community collaborative partnership was extended in semester one 2012 as part of unit EDF3619 ‘Sport and physical activity education’. The purpose of this chapter is to share insights of this programme. A key goal for the ‘Friday Sports’ programme was to be a worthwhile and valued experience for the children, and especially, for the four new partnering schools. The partnership enabled accessing new assets for each of the stakeholders and subsequently, enhancing the quality of the learning experience, which they otherwise would not have had. Feedback from the various stakeholders evidenced that the ‘Friday Sports’ programme was successful and very popular.
