Do you actually have input into the sports curriculum at an individual school level
Ah at the same time however, ah most of the ah curriculum side of things is usually handled within each education department from their curriculum branches
Now how would you compare the way sport is played in the co in the community with the way it's ah taught and s played at school
Ah usually the equipment is provided by the school, the the coaching is free, and there are few very few costs other than the occasional bus fare to get from venue to venue, whereas ah in many community sporting activities, ah for children to participate there is usually some form of registration fee, ah the participants usually have to buy their own equipment in many cases a and ah things like that
Ah Henny are you happy with the level of participation at school, ah in sporting activities, and ah would you like to see an extension of the kinds of er sporting activities that are offered
I think that's very important, but certainly never at the expense of all children being able to have access to such a program
Now, can you give me an outline of what Aussie Sports is all about, and the thinking behind it
And that's very important to young people
So in ah promoting though modified versions of of adult games, I guess that that helps to reduce injuries as well
So I think that's the sort of modification that reduces that risk of injury as well
Are you in favour of that approach though for the adolescent years, because in recent times there there's been quite a few horrific instances where boys have become paraplegics or quadraplegics as a result of playing school football
And I think that's a very vexed question that ah is probably, needs to be addressed by the National Sports itself
Um, are you in favour of modifying adult games to reduce sports injuries
Ah, so they're the sports that w or they're the age groups we have to look at more closely I think
So it's at the top end of the secondary school that the the main problem occurs
Well, what are some of the more common sports injuries though, across the age ranges, that ah a as a sports medicine person you're likely to see
Um, quite often at school sport we do get the problem where um people are thrown into a position of being a coach because they're one of the school teachers rather than an appropriately qualified person
Steve Kayland, could I ask you to comment here because I understand the Sports Council is particularly concerned to upgrade the standard of coaching in schools
But ah in relation to to sporting injuries, I do believe that now more than ever before, there is ah in the school system at least ah ah the a greater awareness of the fact that um ah there have been certain instances in the past that um have made ah you know public headlines with regard to sports injuries and I think ah teachers not only ah make sure that ah they can try and avoid these circumstances, but at the same time I think there has been a somewhat negative effect in that it has discouraged teachers from getting themselves involved in sports coaching, because of the fear that ah one of their charges may perhaps be be injured ah in in a ga in a sporting competition
