On Friday, 18 October Haileybury Pangea celebrated the graduation of their second ever cohort of Year 12 students. In a ceremony held at the David Bradshaw Chapel at Haileybury’s Keysborough campus, 20 of the graduates attended alongside their families and teachers, followed by a Valedictory Dinner in the Langford Pavilion. 

Joanna Baker, Head of Campus at Haileybury Pangea, shared her excitement of the evening with us. “It was delightful to see our students and families gather to celebrate our Haileybury Pangea Class of 2024 at Haileybury’s Keysborough campus. Each of our graduates has had a unique journey through their final years of schooling, and it has been an honour to share in this journey and see students grow and flourish. We can’t wait to see what they do next.”

VCE can be demanding, requiring hard work and perseverance. However, with a determination to succeed, it can also be filled with unforgettable moments. For this group, some of their best memories included meet ups in the Year 12 virtual common room, and looking forward to particular classes with great classmates. The General Achievement Test (GAT) and the following soiree that evening were also highlights, where the students had a chance to connect with faces that, until then, they had only seen through the screen.  

Next year, many of the graduates will be undertaking tertiary studies in a variety of areas, including commerce, engineering, law and the arts, whilst others aspire to study abroad, start their own business, or continue pursuing sports on the national and international stage. 

Looking ahead to 2025, Haileybury Pangea already has 33 Year 12 students ready to begin their final year of studies, with this number likely to grow in the coming months.   

Congratulations and well done to the Haileybury Pangea Class of 2024.
