Arnold Dix (OH 1981)
Congratulations to Arnold on the release of his inspiring new book, The Promise: How an everyday hero made the impossible possible.
In November 2023, a landslide in Northern India trapped 41 workers in a tunnel. There was little hope for their survival until Arnold arrived. Arnold is a geologist, barrister, truck driver, tunnel expert and farmer and when he was called to the disaster site he made a promise. He promised that all the workers would be out of the tunnel safely by Christmas. Arnold kept that promise and became a hero to those men and their families. His remarkable story is now captured in his book.

Mac Greening (OH 1959)
In May 2025 Mac triumphed in the Over 80 Division of the Byron Bay 2.2km Ocean Swim, adding yet another impressive title to his name. Not surprisingly, Mac has been dominating the Over 70s and Over 75s divisions for years. Although he commented he would much rather see Carlton win a Premiership.
Mac was Captain of the Swimming Team at Haileybury in 1958 and 1959. In the first year Haileybury entered the APS, he claimed victory in four swimming races. In 1959, he made the final of the 400m at the Australian Championships and placed an impressive sixth.
He swam competitively until he was 20, then made waves in the Australian Surf Championships at 30, ran marathons, and even made a comeback to the pool at 68. Now, he trains with a Masters squad three times a week, swimming a solid 2.5km each session.
Mac is a highly engaged member of the OHA. He is a regular at the Class of 1950’s Christmas lunch and the OHA Gold Coast Chapter dinners, where he has thoroughly enjoyed conversations with the younger alumni about his time at the School.
When he is not swimming, you can find Mac enjoying a round of golf or keeping busy as the Secretary of the Residents’ Committee at his retirement village.
We are so grateful for Mac’s generous support of the Haileybury Foundation Fighting Fifties Scholarship, and we admire his humility, sense of humour and his Bloods spirit.
