It has been an energising few months at the OHA as we continue to build momentum and deliver initiatives that create meaningful opportunities for our alumni community.
Our recent Young Professionals Networking Event was a tremendous success, bringing together emerging professionals and experienced industry mentors to exchange insights, foster connections, and support the professional growth of our next generation of leaders. The energy in the room was a powerful reminder of the strength and generosity of our network.
We have also celebrated the vibrancy of our international community, with recent alumni events involving graduates of Haileybury Tianjin, reinforcing the OHA’s global reach and the enduring bonds that unite Haileyburians across borders.
Our Haileybury Rendall School Dinner in Melbourne was a particularly special occasion. The evening brought together graduates and staff in a celebration of shared experience and connection; an inspiring reminder of the power of community.
In response to growing engagement from younger members, we are introducing a Young Alumni Sub-Committee to help shape initiatives that reflect the interests and aspirations of our emerging leaders, ensuring the OHA remains dynamic, inclusive and relevant.
We are also thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of OHA Ignite, our new entrepreneurship program designed to champion bold ideas and empower early-stage alumni ventures. Launching in October, with applications opening in November, the program will offer seed funding, mentorship and the support of our global alumni network.
As we head into the OHA’s peak event season, we look forward to welcoming you at our upcoming Signature Events, including the Sursum Corda Business Leaders event, Mornington Peninsula Luncheon and OHA Golf Day.
Thank you to all who continue to share your stories and champion the OHA’s mission. As always, we encourage you to reach out, get involved and remember to ‘stay connected.’
