HART Sport
HART Sport, opens in a new tab is proud to partner alongside the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) and our popular Sporting Schools program.
As part of the partnership, participating schools will receive a discount on sporting equipment purchased for the Sporting Schools programs. HART Sport will also provide the ASC with an annual rebate to purchase sports equipment like soccer balls, cricket kits and hurdles. This equipment will then be distributed to selected remote and regional schools.
The new equipment we received has allowed the Boulia community to experience sporting programs they normally don’t have access to.
We were even able to attend an athletics carnival in Term 3 and take our own equipment. Previously we had to borrow sporting equipment from an athletics club which was so old we couldn’t tell the weight of the discuses and shot puts.

Eighteen million Aussie kids have taken part in the Sporting Schools program which helps address the barriers to participating in sport by providing free sporting programs to students across the country.
More than 9,100 schools have received funding over the past nine years which they can use to deliver programs to students so they can try a range of different sports before, during or after school.
Funding can also be used to purchase sporting equipment, hire facilities or upskill teachers.
This partnership is a great way to strengthen our support to regional and remote schools across Australia that find it tough and expensive purchasing new sports equipment.

HART Sport also supports the AIS Program Solvers Program where Australia’s top athletes visit students in Years 4 to 6.
The free program will run in Terms 3 and 4 and is available to all primary schools across Australia.
We’re proud to partner with the ASC to help make sporting equipment more accessible to schools and clubs across the country, especially those in regional and rural areas that would otherwise struggle to access high-quality gear at affordable prices.
