Stuart House Service Activities
Fair Game Fundraiser
Fair Game is an organisation that distributes old, recycled sports equipment to remote communities in order to use sport as a method of inspiring fit and healthy communities. Stuart has been aligned with Fair Game for a number of years however we have been hoping to solidify this relationship.
Over the course of Term 3, Stuart collected old sports equipment, further assisted by other Scotch Houses. The was extremely successful as a house collecting a range of football, soccer and rugby boots along with balls that will be distributed across Western Australia. Stuart House used this opportunity for inter mentor competitions making posters to encourage other Scotch Houses to join in. This was an excellent opportunity for Stuart House boys to further enhance their understanding of what Fair Game does as an organisation, a key aspect of our overall goal.
Organising this collection drive proved difficult with Covid-19 restrictions and finding appropriate times to run the collection, which would maximise potential involvement however we overcame this challenges and the collection drive was very successful.
In the future, Stuart House will seek to further enhance our relationship with Fair Game and encourage the rest of the Scotch community to engage with Fair Game sport collection drives, which hopefully will become a regular occurrence.
