This edition of The Haileyburian shows the focus Haileybury has, as a great world school, on providing broad opportunities for students and encouraging them to strive for excellence as a part of one Haileybury community.
The VCE Premier’s awards are the pinnacle of VCE academic excellence going to the very top students in each subject. In 2022 Haileybury Melbourne students achieved a record 34 awards across 16 subjects, highlighting the extraordinary depth and talent of Haileybury students and the commitment and professional expertise of the teachers.
For the first time three Premier’s Awards were achieved by two Haileybury Tianjin students, a wonderful effort as the School celebrated its tenth anniversary. Haileybury Tianjin is thriving with 800 students, and we were delighted that the Australia Ambassador to China, Graham Fletcher was guest of honour at our tenth anniversary celebrations covered in this addition.
Haileybury Rendall School Darwin continues to go from strength to strength with 950 students. What has been wonderful to witness in the post Covid-19 environment are the many opportunities now available to students from Darwin and Melbourne to engage and connect with each other.
Haileybury’s reach has also extended to Scotland where the Haileybury Pipes and Drums won the World Championship in Grade 3B – the first time that Haileybury has brought home a world title. The band was made of students and a small number of committed alumni who mentored and played with the band.
There are so many opportunities for Haileybury alumni to connect, engage and support each other – these are reflected in the OHA pages of this Haileyburian. It is also the first President’s report in a Haileyburian from Millie Hogben (OH 2013). Millie is the first female president of the OHA – another milestone in the evolution of Haileybury as a great world school.
