Monash Games 2015

Monash Games for 2015 certainly lived up to the expectations of previous years. High quality competition was evident in what was a great display of numerous sports over three days.

The competition brought together past participants as well as brand new teams made up of friendship groups and workplaces. There was even a team of avid basketball players, the High Flyers, who, unable to form a team from their peers but eager to play, took to Facebook to form a team, meeting for the first time on the day of the game.

The games raised nearly $500 for Ronald McDonald House (RMH) Clayton, a "home away from home" for families travelling from regional or rural Victoria and interstate for their sick and seriously ill children to receive treatment at Monash Children's Hospital. They have provided over 9000 families with a home close to their sick child over the past 21 years.

Volunteers are a pivotal element to Monash Games running smoothly and over the three day event of tournaments, a total of 17 volunteers helped out in scoring, results recording and general assistance. 


Overall 52 teams competed in the Monash Games for 2015, featuring over 400 staff and students. 

Monash Sport looks forward to another successful year of Monash Games in 2016.
