“During the past eight year no other program has had as much social impact on our students as the Sporting Edge Programme.”

 

“Reduced truancy rate in the school, and significantly improved behaviour.”

 

“Our hope is that the benefits our students have had from Sporting Edge Programs will be available to everyone in our community… our Marginal Students in particular.”

 

Stuart Myers (Principal of Pakuranga Intermediate 2001 – 20014)

 

 

“SET dedicated life skill coaching sessions, run in conjunction with existing rugby coaching, improved the leadership of the teams, improved student behaviour on and off the field, and reduced truancy rates, detentions and suspensions.”

 

“The school has made a considerable investment in the programs because we could see the value of it.”

 

Allan Vester (Principal at Edgewater College)

 

 

“The combination of engaging Marginal Students thru their passion for sport… thenhelping these students and their families learn some skills which enable better decision making is such a simple yet effective concept, that we wish to embrace and promote….”

 

“Strengthen those students that crash and burn due to poor decision making because they don’t know what they don’t know…”

 

Rawinia Mana (Pakuranga Rugby League Club – Manageress)

 

 

“We believe the Sporting Edge LEAD program in particular “My Notebook” component, is a unique and invaluable tool for all our players so as to strengthen their decision making on and off the field”
