Vision and values
SPARC's vision for New Zealand is:
- to be the most active nation
- to be winning consistently in events that matter to New Zealand
- to achieve this by having the most effective sport and recreation systems.
Our SPARC Statement of Intent 2007-10 (PDF, 1.37 MB) sets out how we will work with the sport and physical recreation sector and with the rest of Government to realise this vision.
SPARC would like to see all sport and physical recreation organisations operating effectively, individually and collectively, as part of a sport and physical recreation system that achieves outcomes that matter to New Zealanders.
Our values
SPARC aims to incorporate these values in everything we do:
- We are people-focused - we place strong emphasis on supporting and valuing people. SPARC aims to foster whanaungatanga (caring for, and support of one another, like a family) - individuals are valued and able to achieve their full potential.
- We strive for excellence - we see ourselves as a nimble, innovative and dynamic organisation. By developing excellent internal processes, we will ensure our ongoing viability and success.
- We demonstrate leadership - as the lead agency in the sport and physical recreation sector, people and organisations look to SPARC to provide leadership and direction. Our goal is to provide effective, focused and inspiring leadership.
- We display integrity - we aim to demonstrate integrity by ensuring we act ethically and professionally in everything we do.
