Principal’s Report
Haileybury began in 1892 with a focus on academic performance from founding Headmaster, Charles Rendall. Today that focus continues. Haileybury received recognition of the strength of its performance when The Australian
newspaper released its ranking of the top schools in the country, based on national testing results at Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Haileybury was ranked as the number one independent secondary school for boys and girls in Victoria.

ational testing through the agency
of the National Assessment
Program – Literacy and Numeracy
(NAPLAN) has had its critics, and this year a
group of academics and parents proposed
a boycott. The argument put forward was
quoted in The Age: “Pressure on teachers and
children to perform well on NAPLAN tests
is narrowing the curriculum and eroding
time in classrooms for quality teaching and
learning activities”.
NAPLAN tests literacy and numeracy skills
every second year. It is ridiculous to argue
that an increased focus for a period of time
on literacy and numeracy in the junior and
middle school classrooms is a bad
thing. Developing sound foundation
skills in literacy and numeracy is the
core of what schools should be doing.
Consider that there are 36 teaching
weeks in a year and between Prep and
Year 9 a student will have 360 weeks
in the classroom. This equates to 1,750 days
once you take out public holidays. “The focus on core skills in the junior and
middle schools is aimed of course at achieving
strong academic results in Year 12.”
Of these, eight will be spent doing the
NAPLAN tests and perhaps 20 in preparation
for them – if the school chooses to. This, of
course, leaves 1,722 days to deliver the rest
of the curriculum! The argument against the
test is ideological rather than educational,
and is part of the desire of many in education
to avoid accountability for outcomes.
Haileybury strongly supports the NAPLAN
program and the My School website initiated
by Prime Minister Gillard when she was
Minister for Education. It is a good forum
for parents to see a range of data about
schools and assists Haileybury as we strive for
continuous and ongoing improvement in the
delivery of our academic program.
Haileybury’s 2011 results were excellent,
with 5.5% of all students in the top 1%
in the country, 21% of students in the top
5% in the country and 35% in the top 10%. Importantly, 92% of all Haileybury students
were in the top 40% in Australia. The results
deliver strong outcomes for students in terms
of their post-school opportunities. 86% of
students received a university offer, 8% a TAFE
position and 5% gained apprenticeships, with
1% going straight into the workforce.
The class of 2011 gained a good foundation
to start the next phase of their lives.
The focus on the core skills in the junior
and middle schools is aimed of course at
achieving strong academic results at Year 12. www.haileybury.vic.edu.au

Former and current parents, staff, Old Haileyburians, members of council and various
members of Haileybury’s wide community were all part of the 650-strong crowd.
G
uests were treated to a spine tingling performance from Haileybury’s elite bagpipers, as well as
the beautiful voices of current Haileybury students, Alyce Rae and Ryan Griffiths. Academy Award
winner Adam Elliot (OH ’89), made a special toast to the School while fellow Old Haileyburianturned-comedian, Scott Edgar (OH ’90) took to the stage to perform a specially written number for the
night, which had the crowd in stitches. Thank you to all those who attended the evening; it was certainly
a night to remember.

Satisfaction
Surveys
Premier’s Awards
Every second year Haileybury
conducts a set of parent, student
and staff satisfaction surveys
through Independent Schools
Victoria (ISV).
T
he surveys provide the School with
important benchmarks and feedback.
The 2011 surveys demonstrated an
exceptionally high level of satisfaction across
all three surveys.
A national survey has confirmed Haileybury’s reputation as one
of the leading academic schools in Australia.
T
he survey published in The Australian
newspaper (7 April, 2012) listed school
rankings based on the performance
of students in national testing in 10,000
Australian schools at Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 in 2011.
Haileybury’s outstanding results included:
✣ Number one ranked independent secondary
school for boys and girls in Victoria
✣ Number two ranked independent secondary
school for boys and girls in Australia
Haileybury was also the fifth ranked
independent co-educational primary school
in Australia and ranked tenth of all Victorian
primary schools.
“Our strong focus in recent
years has been to attract
and retain the very best
teachers, put them into
small classes with the
very best facilities and to
ensure that all students are
nurtured and treated as
individuals.”
Derek Scott Principal
The Australian rankings were sourced from
the My School website and based upon the
National Testing (NAPLAN) data, which is
completed by all schools. Haileybury’s results are confirmation of the
success of the explicit-teaching program used
in the Junior School, parallel education (where
boys and girls share recreation time but attend
single-gender classes) and small class sizes. The results are also a reflection of a strong
teaching group and the use of best practice
policies including:
✣
A strong teacher evaluation process
✣
Classroom mentoring for teachers
✣
Classroom observation for all teachers
✣ Encouragement
for teachers to research
and obtain higher level Degrees
✣
Performance-based pay.
716 Haileybury parents completed the survey,
while the ISV benchmarks were obtained
from more than 16,000 surveys in 85 schools.
Haileybury was well above the independent
schools mean benchmark in all categories in
the Parent Satisfaction Surveys.
A remarkable 97.9% of parents rated the
Learning Outcomes for their sons or daughters
as high or outstanding giving an average
score of 8.55 out of 10. The independent
school average was 7.92. A very similar result
was achieved for Quality of Teaching. The
student surveys gave an equally strong result
with students from year Years 5 to 12 rating
Learning Outcomes at 8.2 out of 10, compared
to the independent school average of 7.5.
Staff satisfaction was also strong with 338 staff
completing the survey. Haileybury’s focus is
on academic performance, social justice and
a commitment to an international outlook.
Teaching staff recorded an average of 8.7
out of 10 for Goal Alignment, well above the
independent school average of 8.2. Quality
of Teaching scored 8.9, which was a positive
reflection on how the teaching staff viewed
working with their peers at Haileybury. The
overall teaching staff satisfaction was 8.9.
The results are an excellent reflection of the
strong triangle of trust and support that exists
between students, parents and the School.
2011 high achieving students,
including Premier’s Award
winners Brittany Van Der Lugt

Haileybury students were recently awarded 12 Premier’s VCE Awards in a ceremony attended by the Premier,
Ted Baillieu. Premier’s Awards go to the top five students in EACH subject in the VCE and the top 10 in English.
T
he awards were for the 2011 VCE
results. It was pleasing that the awards
were across a range of subjects,
reflecting the diversity of Haileybury students’
skills and the breadth of the offerings.

The Haileyburian WINTER 2012
“It was
important to
put emphasis
on what was
going on in
the classroom
– on good
teaching.”
Q&A
with Derek Scott
Haileybury Council has reappointed Principal Derek Scott for a second five-year term.
As Haileybury’s eighth Principal we sat down with him to discuss his achievements over his first five
years in the job and what his plans are for Haileybury in the future.
What has been achieved in your first
five years as Principal?
H
aileybury had undergone
extraordinary change with the
introduction of Haileybury Girls
College, Parallel Education and delivery of
extended programs across all three campuses.
The School had grown from 1,500 to 3,000
when I took over and that meant the number
of staff had also doubled.
2012 Salvation Army Winter Appeal donations
The first point of focus was on the academic.
It was important to put the emphasis on
what was going on in the classroom – on
good teaching – in order to ensure that
the outcomes for students exceeded the
expectations that parents had when their sons
and daughters entered the School.
This was done through introducing a
comprehensive Human Resources Policy
which incorporated a rigorous teacherselection process, a strong formal Professional
Recognition Program, a supportive Coaching
Program, and performance-based pay
incentives for teachers. This is coupled with
one of the most comprehensive Professional
Development programs for teaching staff of
any school in Australia.
The end result to this point has been some
very strong academic results as represented
in the national testing program at Years 3, 5, 7
and 9 and the results for Year 12 students. In
addition staff, parent and student satisfaction
surveys have been incredibly positive.
What is being planned for the next
five years?
T
echnology is changing education and
society in ways not envisaged even
five years ago. We need to embrace
technology in a way that delivers the best
educational outcomes for students. The iPad
program is a part of this.
At the same time the development of core
skills in literacy and numeracy is even more
important. We will continue with the explicit
teaching model in the Junior School. The
Middle School focus is on building analytical,
creative, big picture thinking and we are
introducing a framework – Understanding by
Design – for teachers to implement a stronger
analytical program.
Haileybury’s international programs continue
to develop. The China program has six partner
schools and delivers strong education and
financial returns for the School. This will grow.
We continue to look for other international
opportunities where we can leverage our
intellectual property. We never invest any
capital overseas. We will also look to further
expand the partner schools we have around
the world to increase the opportunities for
cultural exchanges for Haileybury students.
We currently have partnerships in Indonesia,
Sri Lanka, Japan, France and the United
Kingdom.
Performing and creative arts will
be a focus of the next five years
It will be an exciting five years.
We are in the process of developing an
infrastructure master plan for each campus.
When this is completed we will launch an
exciting six-year building plan. We are not
building for more growth; the focus will be
on delivering high quality buildings with a
flexibility of purpose that will serve the School
community for a long time. Health and fitness,
and the performing and creative arts will be an
important part of this.
“...the focus will be on
delivering high quality
buildings with a flexibility
of purpose that will serve
the School community
for a long time.”
The second point of focus was on the business
side of the School. Haileybury’s growth was
funded by debt. Through sound financial
management supported by student numbers
at more than 3,500 the School will be in a zero
debt position in two years’ time.
“We need to embrace
technology in a way that
delivers the best educational
outcomes for students.
The iPad program is a part
of this.”
The third point of focus was on social justice.
A commitment to a broad understanding
of human rights and support for those in
society not as advantaged as the Haileybury
community is essential to building a stronger
society. I have been delighted with the way
the students have embraced this.

Building Update
Areas of the Keysborough campus have recently undergone a makeover. Building works were started at both
the Newlands and Senior School campuses in 2011, ready for students in the 2012 school year.
Senior School Library
Newlands Junior School
The Senior School Library has undergone a dramatic makeover, with
the brown out-dated style being replaced with a modern and sleek
university style environment. With work commencing at the conclusion
of the 2011 VCE exams, the library was completely overhauled to
incorporate a more open layout, flexible classroom and student learning
spaces, greater access to technology, casual collaborative spaces and,
of course, a few new books!
More classrooms were required in the Newlands Junior School due
to the rapid increase in student enrolments. The concept from Darren
Carnell Architects was chosen as the best design to meet the School’s
needs, with six new classrooms and a new quadrangle area for the Prep
and Year 1 students included. The design also incorporated a polished
concrete facade in matching colours to the adjacent Berthon Hall,
providing a significant entrance and branding to the Junior School.
The new classrooms have provided the students and staff with a fun
and engaging learning environment.
“We have pushed back against the trend of re-badging libraries as
resource centres. A fundamental part of the Library’s function is still to
make books as accessible as possible. Reading is important; developing
a love of reading is a key part of the journey to student success.
Providing a space for students to browse and flick through the pages
is an important part of this,” says Principal, Derek Scott.
New ELC Uniform
At the beginning of the year a new Early Learning Centre (ELC) uniform
was introduced. This new uniform was designed to be practical for the ELC
students, interchangeable and appropriate to wear all year around.
“We have pushed back against
the trend of re-badging libraries
as resource centres.”
iPads @ Haileybury
by Craig Glass
In 2012, Haileybury is trialling iPads
in a number of year levels. At our
Berwick Campus all students in Years 5 to 11
have received an iPad. Also, Year 9 students
at our three campuses – and International
Baccalaureate students – are using iPads.
The trial has been assessed during Term 2
and parents, students and teachers have
overwhelmingly endorsed the iPad as an
effective teaching tool. As a consequence,
in 2013 Haileybury will require all students
in Years 5 to 12 to have iPads.
PAGE 8
The iPad has many advantages over both
desktop computers and laptops. For
students, its light weight and portability
are highly desirable: as more textbooks
become iPad applications the weight
of the schoolbag will be reduced. Other
advantages of the iPad include its fast
start-up time, intuitive operation system,
relatively low price and the large number
of applications that are available.
While technology skills are essential for our
students we also recognise the continuing
need for our students to be able to write
effectively. For the foreseeable future,
the students’ external examinations will
be written. When visiting iPad classes it
is common to see students working in
their workbooks and using their iPad as a
resource. They might be accessing teacher
supplied materials, searching the Internet
or using one of the many applications
available to them. A great advantage of the
iPad is that the school desk can comfortably
accommodate it and the more traditional
resources such as workbooks and writing
materials.
iPads will provide Haileybury teachers
and students the opportunity to enhance
the teaching and learning program with
technology. It is expected that this will in
turn improve student outcomes.
Early indications from the teachers and
students participating in the trial is that the
iPad has enhanced the program. The iPads
have given students access to information
technology whenever it is needed.

High Achievers
As we celebrate 120 years of history, we take a look back at some of Haileybury’s select group of students who have
achieved a perfect ATAR of 99.95. Haileybury has always been a high achieving academic school that has produced many
fine men and women. We recently caught up with seven students who attained a perfect score in the last decade to
find out where life has taken them.

“It is amazing to note
how fast eight years
can go by; it seems
like only yesterday
that I was still
catching Bus B, bowling for Aikman in House
Cricket and sweating/shivering during Year
12 exams in the gym. After graduating from
Haileybury in 2004, I was fortunate enough
to be offered a scholarship for Medicine at
the University of Melbourne. University was
both challenging and enjoyable, and Medicine
has been a fascinating subject to learn
about. The medical course provides a diverse
breadth of experiences, from light-hearted
mock examinations on friends to confronting
interviews with acutely unwell patients. It also
provides an amazing opportunity for travel,
with one of my personal highlights being
an unforgettable summer elective in the
Caribbean. After six entertaining years (which
were also filled with plenty of hard work) I
completed MBBS with honours in 2010, and
managed to graduate equal first in my cohort.
Since then I have been working as a junior
doctor at St Vincent’s Hospital in Melbourne.
At this stage in my career the emphasis is on
gaining experience in a wide range of fields
while finding special interests. Currently, I am
keen to pursue training in either cardiology
or neurosurgery. I am also looking forward to
taking the opportunity to work abroad.
I still have many fond memories of my senior
school years at Haileybury and will always
be grateful for the amazing environment
and teaching the School provided. I strongly
encourage all students to seize the many
opportunities that are available and to enjoy
their time there thoroughly. The experience
will be an invaluable asset for the future.”

“Since leaving
Haileybury, life
has been hectic
but enjoyable.
I was fortunate
to be awarded a
scholarship to study Medicine at the University
of Melbourne and am in my fifth year of
clinical training at St Vincent’s Hospital. Last
year, I completed a research project working
with parents to explore the best ways to help
them understand the medical aspects of their
child’s heart condition. This has helped me to
appreciate the impact that disease can have
on the lives of patients and their families.
In 2008, I established Derrick Ha Student
Coaching Services to pursue my interests in
teaching. I conduct yearly VCE mathematics
revision lectures and hold weekly classes for
Year 11 and 12 students. I have also published
three VCE books to provide students with a
unique perspective that otherwise might not
be gained from textbooks or school. It has
been a rewarding and fulfilling experience to
be able to help so many students improve
their understanding of mathematics. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with
close friends and family. I play golf and tennis
regularly and love tasting all the culinary
delights that Melbourne has to offer. I am
looking forward to the exciting times ahead.”

“I’m currently
working at McKinsey
& Company, a
management
consulting firm that
advises businesses,
governments and institutions globally. I
joined with the intention of learning quickly
and opening my mind to different horizons –
particularly in the corporate world. Work has
helped me do that, providing opportunities
to serve clients in energy, mining,
telecommunications and the public sector,
across Australia and South America. Most of my learning since school has come
from the intelligent and passionate people
I’ve had the good fortune to meet. That said,
I’m worried (read: my mother’s worried) that
someday someone’s going to decide my three
years at University weren’t enough, and I’m
going to miss out on my (read: my mother’s)
dream job. So the plan is to return to study
over the next few years, hopefully overseas.
Time outside work and travel is scarce, but I’ve
managed to grow a passion that was born
during VCE exams: watching The West Wing.
When I’m not ploughing my way through my
third re-run, I’m trying to prove to myself I’m
good at some sport (still looking – squash is
the current contender), or catching up with
friends and family in Melbourne.
On the surface, it feels like a lot has changed
in the five years since school. Friends say I’m
less of an idealist (maybe they say ‘hippy’) and
more pragmatic, that I’m more mature, and
that I now like wine more than beer. I say they
just aren’t spending enough time with me
these days.”

“I’m now in my third
year at Monash
University, studying
law, politics and
history. Outside
class, I volunteer in the Public Defenders’ Unit
at Victoria Legal Aid and work as a research
assistant at Monash Law School. I’ve also had
the opportunity to act as an advisor to the
Victorian Privacy Commissioner and the Youth
Affairs Council of Victoria. Although I’m still far
from certain about career plans, I’ve enjoyed
my exposure to the legal world – even if it’s
not always as uplifting as To Kill A Mockingbird
– and envisage a likely entry into practice
after graduation. Ever since studying Arthur
Miller and Tennessee Williams at Haileybury,
writing has become a passion of mine. This has
prompted me to dabble in student journalism
as the editor of the Monash Law student
magazine, Clayton’s Law, and as a film reviewer
for the Monash student newspaper, Lot’s Wife.
I also recently joined the editorial committee
of the Monash University Law Review, a peerreviewed academic journal edited by law
students. Unsurprisingly, most of my habits
acquired at Haileybury remain stubbornly
unchanged. I spend cold, dark nights at
training sessions of the Monash Association
of Debaters and recently competed in the
Monash Senior Moot at the Federal Court. I’ve
also been fortunate enough to travel to South
Korea and the US for the Australasian Debating
Championships and the Harvard Model United
Nations. In my spare time, I slowly improve my
cooking skills, watch far too many movies and
remain naively hopeful that North Melbourne
will win another premiership...soon.”

“It’s hard to believe
that it’s been twoand-a-half years
since my final days
at Haileybury. I’d
suggest an amendment to the enduring
adage: ‘Time flies when you’re incredibly
busy’. What felt like days after emerging from
the pandemonium that was my VCE exams, I
found myself timidly approaching the Clayton
Campus of Monash University, apparently
ready to embark upon the next chapter in my
seemingly endless education: Medicine.
Now, as I approach the geometric centre of
my five-year course, I wonder whether it’s too
early to confess that I am well and truly in love
with my future career. I am currently on fulltime placement at Box Hill Hospital, which is
quite literally a dusk to dawn workload. For the
past few months, I have been experiencing
the incredible diversity of specialties within the
medical realm; from orthopaedics to oncology;
from intensive care to infectious diseases. It is
truly humbling to be a part of such a dynamic
and exciting field. Every day presents a new
challenge, whether it be cannulating a patient,
sitting through eight hours of surgery, or
surviving a battery of quiz questions from a
senior consultant.
I maintain a very visceral connection to
Haileybury, particularly keeping up-to-date
with the successes of my beloved Bradshaw
House. In the future, I hope to specialise in
either neurology or neurosurgery; I’ve always
been fascinated by the human brain. Wherever
the future takes me, I’ll never forget the
values and knowledge that my high school
experience instilled within me.
Vivat Haileyburia!”

“Although it still
seems like my final
days at Haileybury
were just a few
weeks ago, time
sure has flown by
quickly since. I am now in the second year
of my tertiary studies at The University of
Melbourne, as a Commerce student majoring
in Actuarial Studies. In the past year-and-ahalf I have had the privilege of meeting many
extraordinary, insightful, diverse minds at
university, which has been, and will continue
to be, a highlight of my life on campus. In
particular, the University’s Copland Scholars
Program has offered a wide range of activities
such as industry visits, academic and careers
mentoring, leadership forums, development
workshops, and many more that all have
enriched my university experiences.
Studies aside, I have kept up with my musical
endeavours. Playing in ensembles continues
to take up a large proportion of my time,
which always provides me with a getaway
from stress, allows me to forget about other
workloads, and simply enjoy the company
of some amazing people.
As for the future, I want to become an actuary
one day. Although this will be a long and
tough journey, Haileybury has equipped me
with many skills and knowledge that will assist
me on the way. With these skills comes the
great memories of Haileybury that will also
accompany me through life. Vivat Haileyburia!”

“After a nice relaxing
break, peppered
with part-time
work at a university
bookstore, I was ready to jump into my
studies at the University of Melbourne. I am
in my first year of a Bachelor of Arts under
the Chancellor’s Scholar’s Programme, a
scholarship accompanied by opportunities
to engage in volunteer organisations and
overseas study in later years. I am currently
focussing on European history and Australian
politics and am looking forward to studying
classical history, my personal academic passion
at school, as at university, next semester.
University studies allow me to explore ideas
and engage in academic debates to a greater
depth than I ever have before. The university
also offers countless extra-curricular activities
and I have had a great time sampling
everything from political clubs to food interest
groups and cross-country. One of my favourite
activities is the university’s debating club,
which gives me a weekly opportunity to flex
my public speaking muscles as we verbally
spar over the political and economic issues
of the week – with just half an hour to prepare
a case, it is an exhilarating exercise in quickthinking and spontaneous rhetorical skill.
I am also applying for a position in the Student
Ambassador Leadership Program, which
aims at immersing students in community
volunteering work and developing their
organisational skills. Fundamentally, University
gives you a sense that your studies, your
efforts and your arguments are significant,
and that the academic and extra-curricular
work we’re doing is important for the future
of our community. With the initiative and
open-mindedness instilled by Haileybury,
I hope to make the most of this dynamic
new environment in the years to come.”

The 39 Steps
M
ix a Hitchcock masterpiece with
a juicy spy novel; add a dash of
Monty Python and you have the
intriguing, thrilling, riotous and un-missable
comedy, The 39 Steps. This year’s Senior School
play was short of nothing but fantastic. A cast
of 25 played over 150 parts in this fast-paced
tale of an ordinary man on an extraordinarily
entertaining adventure. The 39 Steps contained
every single legendary scene from the awardwinning Hitchcock movie – including the
chase of the Flying Scotsman, the escape on
the Forth Bridge, the first theatrical bi-plane
Lucinda Price
and Angus Bell
crash ever staged and the sensational deathdefying finale in the London Palladium.
“The simplicity of the staging and the tonguein-cheek style has captured audiences’
imaginations and reminded us what going to
the theatre can be like – an interactive night
out where both actors and audience commit

Victorian Pipe Band
Champions
The Haileybury Pipes and Drums have
regained their State title with a narrow victory
over Scotch College in the Victorian Pipe
Band Championships hosted by Haileybury
on Sunday, 25 March. The young Haileybury
band has worked extremely hard to lift their
standard and was very excited by a welldeserved win over their fierce rivals.
Once again the grounds of Haileybury
provided a fantastic backdrop for the Victorian
Pipe Band Championships.
Class of 2011 student, Zoe Strapp, was announced the winner of the
Best Amateur Award at the 2012 Australian Wood Design Exhibition.
Zoe’s winning entry was a superbly designed timber surfboard that she crafted
for her Unit 4 Design and Technology: Production SAT. It was made from
Tasmanian Blackwood, Queensland Maple and
Bamboo. This is a fantastic achievement for Zoe;
her work was judged the winning entry from a very
competitive range of fine woodwork, including
entries from Tertiary level students and matureaged adult woodworkers. Zoe is also the first
secondary school female entrant to ever win this
award.
Haileybury’s Head of Guitar, Mr Sergio
Ercole, was instrumental in setting
up this opportunity for the students:
“Massimo expressed interest in hearing
local young guitar talent so I asked him
to come and sit for an afternoon with
my guitar students and take them for an
informal class, sharing his insights and
expertise.”

012 saw the Year 10 students stage
Stories from Suburban Road, adapted
by Alan Becher from Tom Hungerford’s
autobiography of the same name. Comic
and sometimes achingly poignant, the play
explores childhood adventure and the loss
of innocence through the recreation of Tom’s
memories. The large ensemble cast comprised
of students from across all campuses. With
minimal set and props, they transformed the
reverse stage of Aikman Hall into Perth in the
1930s. Amid the backdrop of The Depression,
PAGE 12
the cast explored the endless
experiences associated with
growing up in Australia
between the World Wars.
“The Year 10 play is a
collaborative effort.
With a focus on non-naturalistic story-telling,
students work with minimal costumes, sets
and props to create a myriad of different
scenes and characters. To do this, they must
develop their skills as actors, dancers and
singers to create and transform each scene.
Their efforts are supported by their fellow
peers who help with the lighting and sound
production. The atmosphere of collaboration
is palpable.”

n a very short space of time this remarkable building carved out its niche as the
spiritual centre of the Haileybury community.
Over the years the Chapel has provided a focus for religious observances and
for worship and reflection. Church and House services, weddings of hundreds of
former students and other friends of the School, baptisms and funerals have all
formed part of its raison d’etre. As a venue for classical musical recitals and other
performances, it has been a centre for celebration and inspiration. In recent times,
Thomas Heywood’s performances on the organ have been a highlight.
The Chapel marks a high point in the creative career of the architect Philip Cox who
based his 1985 design on a Norman castle or ‘keep’. At this time, the Keysborough
site remained flat and featureless, and the Chapel was intended to provide a focus
within the surrounding landscape. In this respect Cox succeeded admirably, and
the building quickly became an architectural talking point.
Inside the building, irregular penetrations in the masonry allow light to strike
dramatically at various points, and these are enhanced by Leonard French’s
magnificent stained-glass windows, which are based on the theme of creation and
renewal. Outside, the lychgate symbolically and physically links the Chapel to the
secular part of the School. This and the Frank Elmore Forecourt, with its reflective
space, fountain and Florentine statue, complement one of Haileybury’s priceless
assets.
Haileybury Sport
Table Tennis
Haileybury continues to dominate the APS Table Tennis competition, taking out another
APS Premiership. Under the leadership of Co-Captains, Nikita and Jason, this is the 17th
time in the last 18 years that Haileybury has taken the title. It was a perfect season for the
Haileybury team who did not lose a game, with the closet score being 12-3!
The 2011 dream-team included Nikita Bricknell, Calvin Huynh, Jason Liu (Year 12), Daniel
Zou, Callan Jones (Year 10), Somesh Das, Leon Suy, Patrick Wang, David Zhao (Year 9) and
Cameron Dallman-Bell (Year 8).
Nikita Bricknell – Table Tennis Star
Nikita has been playing Table Tennis
for eight years and has represented
Haileybury in the boys APS competition
for the past three years, this year taking
on the role of Co-Captain. In all her time
playing for Haileybury, Nikita has never
lost a game. Nikita was selected for the
second consecutive year in the APS Table
Tennis Team, becoming the only girl since
the girls APS/AGSV competition was
established to be selected in a boys APS
representative team. In addition, she was
named the Vice Captain of the team, which
is the first time a girl has held this position
within a boys’ team. She has competed at Nationals six times and has won gold at this
event twice. She currently has her sights set on the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

Haileybury 1st boys tennis secures
premiership
almost 90 minutes of rain delays, the teams
were inseparable at 2.00pm. No doubt this
will be a motivating point when the two sides
meet in next season’s competition.
In the second last round there were four
teams with mathematical chances of winning
the APS Premiership for 2012. In what could
have been our closest encounter for the
season, Haileybury managed to outlast a
determined St Kevin’s College and secured
the 2012 APS Tennis Premiership. The rest, as
they say, is history.
It has been an exciting and nail-biting season
in APS Boys Tennis. Throughout the season
there were several washouts, which kept
many teams in the hunt for that elusive tennis
premiership. Incredibly, Haileybury Boys 1st
Tennis managed to come through the season
unbeaten, despite some close moments.

The APS summer sport season ends each year
with a representative match against the AGSV
Schools in selected summer sports. Haileybury
was honoured to have a number of students
selected to represent the APS in these
matches. Congratulations to the following
students who were selected:
Haileybury has some outstanding young
athletes, with Year 12 students, Luke Cann and
Keith Rodrigo, representing Australia at the
Youth World Championships in Barcelona in
July.
Boys Teams
Touch
The Haileybury 1st Touch Team began the
2012 season with the introduction of a
number of new players. After a solid preseason, the boys were ready to reinforce their
commitment and to reinstate Haileybury’s
standing as the pre-eminent Touch team.
The start of the season saw the Bloods take
on Scotch College. Eager to make amends
for last year’s disappointment, the Bloods
were pumped and focussed. Round 2, against
Melbourne High, and Round 3 against
Melbourne Grammar School, continued in
the same vein with the Bloods blowing the
opposition out of the water.
Round 4 against Brighton Grammar School
provided a timely challenge on a 35-degree
day. The next game against Trinity Grammar
saw the Bloods return to their destructive ways
with a 12-4 win.
Round 6 saw Haileybury take on Xavier
College. The game was shaping up to be a
cracker with both teams coming into the
round undefeated. It was a close win, but
enough to ensure the Bloods remained
undefeated for the entire season.
The Grand Final saw the Bloods playing
Xavier again and with Xavier being last year’s
nemesis (having knocked us out of the semi),
the tension was evident. The final siren saw
Haileybury crowned Premiers with a 6 -2
score line.
Congratulations to the boys on a great season
and your sportsmanship.

Captains Corner
Jack Armstrong
Captain of Haileybury College
I
n my time as Captain of Haileybury
College, it’s been hard to fully comprehend
how seemingly fast everything has passed.
For years, school seemed a long, uphill battle,
however, it’s only now in my final year that
everything seems to have sped by at such
a quick pace; it’s difficult to remember it all.
That isn’t to say that I don’t remember some
of the fun and exciting things I’ve been able
to do. Late last year I was lucky enough to
spend five weeks in Bordeaux, France, which
was simply, one of those experiences I will
carry throughout my life. For any student who
is learning a language, I think that actually
going to the country you hear and learn so
much about, adds a whole new dimension of
meaning and relevance to your study.
“...scores of immensely able students, whose
talents stem, not only from natural ability, but
also their own perseverance and application.”
In obtaining the captaincy, I’ve been forced
to adjust and balance all my commitments
in academics, sport and music, which has
inevitably been the greatest challenge of the
role. Initially this was something I struggled
with, however, it was also something I worked
hard towards and made a big effort to achieve.
Zara McDonald
Captain of Haileybury Girls College
U
nsurprisingly, Semester 1 has flown
by speedily, as students have
immersed themselves in all aspects
of Haileybury culture. The atmosphere of
Senior School continues to be as unique as
we have always known it, encapsulated by
the diligence and persistence of the entire
Girls School, who seamlessly embody all
that it means to be a true Haileybury heart.
While keeping up with what can only be
characterised as a demanding workload, the
girls have managed to finish off an incredible
season of Summer Sport. Although unable to
get their hands on an elusive premiership cup,
special mention must go to our 1st Rowing
girls who worked tirelessly over the summer
“...performances that have highlighted the depth
of talent and opportunity within the School”
to row well at the Heads of the River. Similarly,
our 1st Tennis girls came frightfully close to
their own premiership, losing only one match
all season in a fine display of sporting prowess.
PAGE 16
I’ve eventually been able to strike a balance,
making the most of what I can in the time that
I have which, personally, is something I think
is important. Admittedly this can be a little
stressful at times, but in my experience it’s
also rewarding.
Similarly, it has also been exciting and
rewarding to be at Haileybury at a time
of great success. On the summer sporting
fields, the Bloods have taken out numerous
premierships, the most significant being the
continuation of our 15-year dominance of the
table tennis tables. Additionally, as we now
complete the shift into the winter season, the
Haileybury football team is looking strong
on the back of three consecutive wins, while
the depth of the cross-country squad has
the Bloods well-placed to vie for premiership
honours. Above all, what has underscored
my experiences more than anything is the
profound talent that exists throughout the
School, in all sports and disciplines. Within
each year level there are scores of immensely
able students, whose talents stem, not
only from natural ability, but also their own
perseverance and application.
As we look towards a new semester, all
students should be congratulated on their
efforts and take the time out to relax over
the upcoming winter break.
120 years of memories

Haileybury has a long running Archives department who carefully look after and catalogue the School history.
In the School’s 120th year, the Archives team have been hard at work providing historical pieces for the various events
scheduled for the School year. Here is a brief selection of some the more unseen images from the last 120 years:

Off the field, the Drama department has
expended much of their energy into
performances that have highlighted the depth
of talent and opportunity within the School.
The Year 10 play, Stories of a Suburban Road,
allowed some of our outstanding younger
talent to shine, while our Senior School play,
The 39 Steps, showcased some our finest drama
students in one of our most memorable
comic plays to date.
Headmaster, Sholto
Black, congratulates

As always, Social Justice has been the core
focus of our time, with heavy emphasis placed
on The OakTree Foundation, our whole school
charity. Our annual OakTree Week was held
in the latter part of Term 1, whereby activities
such as Quad parties and Dancing with the
Staff succeeded in raising over $2000 for the
Foundation, while simultaneously injecting
further energy and diversity into Senior School.
Upon reflection, it is fitting to commend all
students on their efforts thus far on their
contribution to an immensely successful
Semester 1. And, as we look towards Semester
2, there is no doubt that our focus will remain
on Social Justice as students further engage
in Senior School’s many opportunities that
endorse the beauty of active involvement
in school life.

The first six months of 2012 have seen the culmination of two years’
work to restructure the OHA. At an extraordinary General Meeting in early
February, motions to pass a new constitution and restructure the council
were adopted unanimously.

an unwieldy council in excess of 25
members, a slim lined nine-member
Senior Executive will lead the organisation with
a similar sized group of Young Leaders who
will drive the organisation’s engagement with
recent leavers. This smaller Senior Management
Team will allow the OHA to be more nimble,
while the Young Leaders will play an extremely
important role, given engaging recent leavers
has been identified as the OHA’s number one
priority in the four-year strategic plan adopted
at the March Senior Executive meeting.
Clubs are a key part of the strategy and Jarrod
McLauchlan is leading the development
of a club support program which will see
clubs able to source funding to support
their initiatives. Central to the criteria will be
the development of the club, with a view to
attracting new members, providing better
services and offering opportunities for female
OHs to participate. The amount of volunteer
time required to manage clubs and the cost of
running them, communicating with members,
paying insurance etc, make this program a
high priority for the OHA.
The strategy will guide all that the OHA
does and is available for member review at
www.oha.org.au.
A large amount of work is underway to
establish a scholarship program to allow the
OHA to support sons and daughters of OHs
who may not be able to afford a Haileybury
education. There is no shortage of complexity
in building a program such as this, and
ensuring the correct criteria and evaluation
processes are in place. Our aim is to have the
first scholarship recipient attending the School
at the start of 2013.
The strategy simplifies our mission statement:

Social Media
“The Old Haileyburians’
Association promotes
the unity, welfare and
advancement of Old
Haileyburians and
the entire Haileybury
community through a
range of vibrant and
engaging services that
promote the values
of social inclusion and
community service.”
The mission highlights two values: social
inclusion and community service, which were
identified as at the heart of what Haileyburians
believe sets their school and the OHA apart.
This is particularly the case for recent leavers,
albeit the Haileybury community has long
valued both, with social inclusion at the heart
of the diversity of backgrounds seen across
Haileybury’s past and present students.
In addition, work is underway on a community
service support fund, reinvigorating our social
media presence, new informal industry events
and a range of other initiatives. Phew!
In closing, I had the great pleasure, in March,
of spending a morning with Haileybury’s first
female graduates as part of the celebration of
their five-year reunion. These Haileyburians had
a short time at the School, but after listening
to their experiences and passion for Haileybury
I was reminded not only of how wonderful
an opportunity a Haileybury education is, but
also how lifelong opportunity comes from the
friendships and networks made at the School
and through the OHA.
These opportunities are there for us all, and I
encourage you to visit our website or Facebook

along.

OHA Medal
The winner
of the OHA
Medal
for 2011 is
Professor
Geoffrey
Cleghorn
(OH ’71).
The Old Haileyburians Medal is a unique
way of recognising Old Haileyburians who

the School of Medicine and Professor
of Paediatrics and Child Health at the
University of Queensland. Professor
Cleghorn has published in excess of
250 scientific articles and book chapters

Haileybury community as one of nature’s
gentlemen. His commitment to the School,
and his care for those within it, were of the
highest order.
Andrew Short (OH 2004) Andrew was
well known for his athletic talents while at
Haileybury, competing in the Open 100m and
200m at the APS athletics in his final year. Our
deepest sympathy is extended to his family,

premiership and
secure a ninth
title in the past 10 seasons. There has been
little separating Old Xavier and Old Haileybury
in recent seasons. The opening race of the
season was another classic battle with Old
Xaverians coming out on top by the barest of
margins – 61 points to 62. This was the second
consecutive one-point result, and a reverse
of the result that saw us clinch the 2011
premiership in the closest finish in the history
of the competition.
Our women’s team has recorded two solid
fourth-placings thus far, behind a powerful
Old Xaverians team. With the possible inclusion
of former school stars, Tessa Craig and Mel
Townsend at the next event, we are hopeful of

Old Haileybury Bowling Club
recently participated in the Public
Schools Old Boys’ Bowls Association
Tournament at Kew Heights Bowling Club.
While the team was missing a few old boy
regulars due to a conflicting tournament in
Echuca, it opened the door for an influx of
new Old Haileybury bowlers to join the team.
New members in 2012 included Andrew
Tinkler, Frank Vorchord, Max Tinkler, Alan
Wyatt, Norm McIntyre and Luke Donaldson.
With the Haileybury flag flying amongst
regular participants including Caulfield
Grammarians, Old Wesley Collegians, Old
Melburnians, Old Xaverians, St.Kevin’s Old
Collegians and Old Scotch, the boys were
keen to go a step further from last year’s
third position.
The Old Haileybury Soccer Club is

The best performing rink for Old Haileybury
was that skipped by Brian Howarth, with
Norm McIntryre in 3rd, Russell Bingham in
2nd and Alan Wyatt as Lead. The boys won
all three rinks including knocking off the top
rink in the winning team from Old Xavier.
The remaining rinks for Old Haileybury also
did well throughout the day and competitive
spirits were high. The team was to pick up an
additional three rinks and finish a credible
mid-table.
A terrific day was had by all and Old Haileybury
will prepare again for next year’s tilt at the title.
A special thanks to Russell Davidson for his
support of the team and help throughout the
year.
A reminder that Old Haileybury Bowling Club
is now established at the Bentleigh Bowls

OHA Thoroughbred Club
OHA Hockey
40 syndicate holders will be holding
their breath with excitement as the first
horse racing for the OHA Thoroughbred Club
takes to the track in August. Racing in the
Haileybury colours of magenta and black (with
a gold pompom on the cap) our first horse
is appropriately named Magenta and Black.
She is a two-year-old filly, trained by past
Haileybury parent, Michael Kent with breeding
through Holy Roman Emperor and She’s
Alluring. With some luck you may see some
excited owners adorning the city racecourses
this Spring!
On home turf recently, we won convincingly,
to draw level on the premiership ladder with
Old Xavier. The team score of 32 points was an
equal club record and the trifecta of Haileybury
athletes on the podium was a club first.
Leading performers early in the season have
included Lennon Wicks, John Cochrane, Steve
Isbel, Simon Hurt and David Bayley.
OHA Soccer
The 2012 season has been one of
rebuilding, with a number of new faces
taking the field. Being based at Haileybury

participating in the MCC Club X1 competition.
Playing for the first time since 2009/10, the
Club fielded a full team in each one of its

an exciting year ahead. The Club is looking
to field two teams in 2012/13 and interested

Hockey Club has been an integral part of
the OHA Community, with a mix of players
graduating anywhere from one year ago to
20-plus years ago.
The Club has seen significant expansion
with this season seeing three teams playing.
The first men’s team has had significant
success in the state league competition, with
a premiership in the previous season,
resulting in the promotion to State League 4
competition. Further, the second men’s team
is fighting strongly in the metro three division
with promising results in the beginning of
the season.
Old Skool Aerobics
The girls in the Haileybury Old Skool
Aerobics Team have begun the season with
the annual Aerobics Display Night, showcasing
their routine to family and friends of the
Haileybury dance and aerobics community. The first heats competition in Geelong, in May
(with State heats following late June) will see
the girls battle it off to try and qualify for the
Nationals which will be held in Sydney this
year. Rosie Hart (OH 2010)
Most of the games are held at Haileybury, with
training on the Monash University hockey field,
every Wednesday from 9.00 – 10.30am. During
the summer, we also organise a mixed hockey
team. For all players who are interested in
having a game over the summer break.
There are a number of ways to get involved
with the Club, either as a player or a social
member of the Club. These include a number
of social activities that the OHA Hockey Club
runs throughout the year including trivia
nights, random club events and a presentation
dinner at the end of the season.
With this ongoing success of the Club, as
well as the push to get more involved with
hockey at school, we are constantly looking
to expand the Club for both the men and
women’s teams. If you are interested in playing
for OHAHC, please feel free to contact the
Club through the Club website. Otherwise
please feel free to send any question through
regarding our club: president@ohahc.org.au.

OHA
Haileybury
Foundation
Where are they now?
OHA Mentoring Program
It is our pleasure to announce to the Old Haileyburians Association members,
the addition of our new Mentoring Board now available on the OHA website. This
is available for both Mentors and Mentees (Haileybury graduates).
I
With the launch of the Haileybury
Foundation, we are calling on
the Haileybury community – past
and present – to support future
generations of students by giving
generously to our range of
fundraising programs.
T
he Haileybury Foundation is
seen by the School Council as
an investment in our students –
both present and future – and a lasting
recognition of those who have gone
before them.
Old Haileyburians living in the USA or
Canada who make gifts to the Foundation
may claim them as a deduction on their
US income or Canadian tax return, through
The Australian Independent Schools (AIS)
USA Foundation. Members of the Haileybury community
have been very generous to the Foundation,
and we have received donations
aggregating around $130,000 in the
Foundation’s first 18 months, together
with a very generous commitment from
one Old Haileyburian to fund two fullscholarships on an ongoing basis. This
commitment is worth close to a further
$50,000 per year. To this point, most
donations have been to the Haileybury
Scholarship Fund, as we have been
seeking, however, we have also been
fortunate to receive initial contributions
to the Haileybury Building Fund and the
Haileybury Library Fund.
Your gift and generosity will help ensure
that Haileybury consolidates its position
as one of Australia’s great schools and
achieves its vision of being recognised
as a great world school.
For further information on the Haileybury
Foundation, please contact Russell
Davidson on 9213 2218.

Don Lord (OH ’61) was honoured with Life
Membership of the Richmond Football Club
in December after 10 years as a Director.
n order to have a successful mentoring
program, we need to help foster a culture
where the sharing of experiences, wisdom
and networks, knowledge and know-how is
the ‘norm’. Becoming a mentor is a great way
to keep in touch with your OHA community
while having an impact on the next
generation. As a mentor, you will be able to
engage in discussions about your line of work
and also use the opportunity to assess your
own strengths and career development.
We encourage all Old Haileyburians to share
their experience and insights with other
members, especially those who are about to
embark on professional careers. All information
is confidential and will not be shared without
your permission. When you are contacted (via
a private email request), you are encouraged
to negotiate your own arrangements with your
mentee.
