Old Xavs invite VAFA members to Game Changers

The Old Xaverians Football Club welcome members of all VAFA clubs to the third in its series of Game Changers events next Monday 23 April.

Game Changers is central to the club’s commitment to raise community awareness for the well-being of young people, specifically in the areas of mental and physical health, financial and career advice.

Guest Speakers

NICK MAXWELL – Former Collingwood Premiership Captain

JACINTA WHELAN – Exec Interim Manager, Watermark Search International

DAVID CRAWFORD – Retired Partner + National Chairman KPMG

JOE RUSH – Mental Health Ambassador who recently walked from Melbourne to Canberra.

Head of Player Well Being at the OXFC, Paul Lefebvre, says that Game Changers Series is targeted at anyone 15 years and older. By listening to the experiences of our panellists, we hope that through this initiative, everyone will learn something more about themselves, their children, friends and teammates.

The “Game Changers” initiative was developed by former player Old Xavs player Mike Beardsley who recognised the forum complements the club’s desire to increase the exchange of information on these important topics.

“Game Changers is about more than just our club. When our community is more equipped with information about well-being, then we all benefit.  

The next Game Changers event will be held at Burke Hall (Xavier College Junior Campus in the Garnet Hall on Monday April 23 at 7pm. A gold coin donation will get you in for a lively and informative 90 minute session.
