The Sturrocks and Manleys are multi-generational Haileybury families who are now forever connected by a marriage.
Tim Sturrock (OH 1980) is the principal donor to the Stewart Bell Scholarship which has changed a life forever. He studied Medicine at Monash University and specialises in obstetrics and gynaecology. Tim is now married to his wife, Shima, and operates a thriving practice in Brighton. He has delivered countless Haileybury community members including teachers’ babies, alumni babies and children at the School right now!
His Year 12 captaincy of Rendall House echoed through his children, Sam (OH 2007), Sophie (OH 2009) and Ned (OH 2013), all who would go on to captain Clements House.
Greg Manley (OH 1978) upon leaving Haileybury worked in the plastics industry before founding successful HYGAIN Feeds, an equine feed and supplement manufacturing business in 1983. He married Cornelia in 1990 and they have three children Kirby, Hannah (OH 2009) and Richard (OH 2011) and three granddaughters.
Sam Sturrock met Hannah Manley at Haileybury in 2007 and fell in love. They now have two beautiful daughters, Sloane and Dulcie.
Sam studied Medicine at Monash University and is less than one year away from finishing speciality training in obstetrics and gynaecology. Sam is excited about joining Tim in the practice next year. When asked about what he enjoys in his spare time, Sam noted, “spare time — what’s that?!”
Sam’s friends are from all corners of the Haileybury regions and remain his closest friendships, most of whom also send their children to Haileybury. He believes the support and guidance he received at the School allowed him to maximise his abilities and opportunities. “I owe an immense amount to Haileybury and will always be fond of the years I spent at the School, and the nurturing I received from many extraordinary teachers,” he said. Seeing Sloane in her Haileybury ELC uniform is a very proud father moment for him.
Hannah studied Business and Marketing at Monash University and worked in fashion for a wholesaler and distributor. Hannah greatly appreciates Haileybury’s sense of community and the friendships she made across multiple year levels. She is currently a stay at home mum and is in the throes of a mini renovation of their home so that takes up a lot of their weekends, if they are not busy at the park with the girls or seeing friends and family.
Greg sold the family business in 2017 to private equity and they are now involved in beef farming with Richard running the business. In his semi-retirement, Greg mostly spends his time travelling with friends and family, and working on the farm or gardening on his property. He has treasured watching the great friendships his children made at Haileybury, and which continue as valuable support networks in their adult lives.
Sloane is thriving in Reception in the Early Learning Centre. She adores the wide variety of activities offered and especially her teachers, Ms Petrie and Mrs Kenny. Her favourite activities are choosing a book at the library each week, painting and crafts. She was thrilled to receive Star of the Day in PMP with Mrs Crowe. “It has been so lovely watching her grow and learn already in such a short space of time,” Hannah noted.
Sophie studied medicine at Bond University, Queensland and lives in Cabarita Beach, New South Wales with her husband Nick and three gorgeous girls, Poppy, Goldie and Pearl.
Ned studied business and marketing and is currently completing a building apprenticeship. He lives in Murwillumbah, New South Wales with fiancée Tilly.
Tim and Greg are incredibly proud of their three generation Haileybury heritage. They hope their granddaughter Sloane relishes her Haileybury journey and makes life-long friends as their children have done.
