Our events allow the opportunity to connect, reconnect, reminisce and share life journeys. We love the energy created by them and feel privileged to be present to be able to share in these special moments. Thanks to everyone who has attended an OHA event this year!
Once a Haileyburian, always a Haileyburian.
Darwin Chapter dinner
Director of Development & Alumni Relations, Russell Davidson, hosted a fabulous dinner for our Darwin Chapter at Admiralty House in May. It was particularly heart-warming to welcome some of our most recent graduates from Haileybury Rendall School.
Sursum Corda Society
It was wonderful to see the Sursum Corda Society gather for the third time in person at The Westin in June. What a fantastic networking opportunity it was for CEOs, business owners and members of the Haileybury Society! The night was filled with inspiration and valuable connections. A special thank you to guest speaker Craig Tiley, current parent and AO Tournament Director and Tennis Australia CEO, for sharing his incredible insights, especially since it was the night before departing early the next morning to attend the French Open.
Please email us if you would like to learn more about the Sursum Corda Society.
Webinar with the Principal of Haileybury Rendall School
Andrew McGregor shared an extraordinary presentation with our community on the amazing work being done at Haileybury Rendall School. If you missed this presentation, it is well worth a watch here.
OHA Rugby reunion
It was lovely to see our past rugby players come together and enjoy each other’s company. Rugby has taken on a resurgence at Haileybury with the 1st XV team flying! Our former players loved having the opportunity to hear from the current Haileybury 1XV players and coaches and then watch them defeat Xavier College in an enthralling match!
Axe throwing
Laughter filled the air as a slightly abstract OHA open member event saw alumni and their guests enjoy learning the art of axe throwing.
Boutique Industry Luncheons were back!
We were thrilled to have Fraser Main (OH 1988), Principal at WT Partnership and Campbell Jamieson (OH 1987), Former General Manager – Commercial for the International Cricket Council, as guest speakers at the two intimate Boutique Luncheons for the year. Attendees were enthralled by Fraser and Campbell’s insight into their industries and took advantage of these networking opportunities.
Mornington Peninsula Luncheon
It may have been a few years since we last hosted our Mornington Peninsula Luncheon, however, this did not deter it being a sell-out! Guests dined on superb food, at a subsidised OHA price, in a private area at the iconic InterContinental in Sorrento. More iconic lunch venues are returning to our Events Calendar in 2024.
OHA Generations Breakfast City campus
Families were treated to delicious breakfasts and charming caricature portraits. Current parent, Sam Redston (OH 1990) provided an entertaining Then and Now presentation. It was marvellous to see grandparents, parents, students and staff come together and celebrate their history at Haileybury, reminding us of the special bond we share as part of the Haileybury community.
Over 10% of students at Haileybury belong to an OHA generational family.
Class of 1993 30-Year reunion
Nearly 50 gentlemen celebrated their 30-Year reunion at the magnificent City campus. Comments from attendees included, “Glad I made it over from Tokyo for the event. The School, its contribution to society and vision are all lining up for an exciting future,” and, “We all had a brilliant time and some kicked on to the very early hours of the morning!”
Adelaide Chapter dinner
The Adelaide Chapter gathered in September at Chianti Restaurant for a scrumptious three-course meal. Our members thoroughly enjoyed catching up with each other, sharing stories and memories!
Canberra Chapter dinner
Old Haileyburians spanning seven decades, came together as the ‘Canberra Chapter’ in a private room at Wakefield’s Bar & Wine Room to meet, reconnect and reminisce about their glory days at Haileybury. It was a brilliant evening!
OHA Golf Day
The OHA Golf Day was a resounding success with 120 participants at the stunning Southern Golf Club. Congratulations to the winner of the Hattam-Metherall trophy, Jason Ellenport (OH 1987). Thank you to all 120 players for making this day exceptional.
