SPORTS STRATEGY STRATEGIC GOALS FOR SPORT Kristin has a proud tradition of sporting success and it is looking to build on that with a strategic focus on sport. Rob Taylor, Kristin’s Director of Sport, says the mission that drives the strategy is to “empower all students to be physically active for life and strive for excellence in all aspects of Kristin Sport”. Team sports and individual representation will be supported, within a positive sporting environment that embraces all abilities.

There are four main streams to Kristin’s sports strategy: 1. Advance: Provide quality sports programmes that reflect our student needs, generate athletes of significance and engage all staff and the Kristin community 2. Captivate: Create a sporting environment within the Kristin community that challeneges all involved to be the best they can be EVERYDAY 3. Outshine: Sporting excellence is sought across all sports programmes 4. Sustain: Build and maintain sports facilities and sports programmes that reflect the sports needs of all Kristin students. The need to develop and articulate the sports strategy was identified in research undertaken with the Kristin community and there are a number of action points that will begin to be visible in the near future. At a base level, this will involve articulating and making visible a Kristin Sports mantra, which is “Sport our Way: Be the best you can Every Day.” The intention is that all students, community and staff are empowered to enjoy positive experiences in sport at Kristin. This is expected to increase student participation across the main team sports and increase the number of students representing Kristin school in sport. As Rob points out, school sport is much more than a pastime and healthy activity: it is also the context in which students can experience success and failure, realise their dreams and aspirations, and strengthen their teamwork skills and camaraderie in pursuit of their goals.
