Q. What is the role of the AASC Regional Coordinator?
A. The role of the AASC regional coordinator is to:
- link suitable ASC registered deliverers from the community with the school/OSHCS to meet their program requirements
- assist schools/OSHCS to plan and develop suitable programs to engage traditionally inactive children
- train and identify suitable deliverers within the community to meet the quality standards set by the program
- monitor, assess and provide feedback to deliverers on quality of program delivery
- explore and identify opportunities for unique community initiatives to enhance the objectives of the program.
Q. Who decides on what is delivered within the school/OSHCS?
A. The school/OSHCS in consultation with their AASC regional coordinator determines what physical activity programs are delivered. These may include modified junior sport programs or multi-skill based activities. The only requirement is that the school/OSHCS uses ASC registered deliverers. The choice will be determined by a number of factors including:
- environment
- age/ability level of children
- identified barriers to involvement in physical activity
- inclusion principles
- special need considerations
- local community resources.
The AASC regional coordinator will work with the schools/OSHCS to ensure that the programs delivered are varied and fun, engage maximum participation and provide opportunities for pathway development and growth at the community level.
