PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

SPRING EDITION 2011

being with the Greens in the Senate from July this year. The Greens are opposed to funding for schools such as Haileybury and as a minimum position have stated that one of their goals is for “schools funding to be placed on an equitable footing by reversing the excessive increases in Commonwealth funding to non-government schools in recent years”. It is therefore important that the extended Haileybury community understand the nature of the debate and be prepared to participate in it.

The Federal Government, under Prime Minister Julia Gillard, has a significant education agenda. This includes the development of a National Curriculum, ongoing national testing through the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN), the report of testing and financial matters through the My School website, the one-off funding for facilities through the Building the Education Revolution and funding for computers through the Digital Education Revolution.

The government is also undertaking a full review of government funding for all schools in Australia.

Haileybury has been largely supportive of the Federal Government agenda. The National Curriculum will lead to some consistency in the delivery of education around the country, NAPLAN has re-focused schools on their literacy and numeracy programs and the My School website (including the publication of financial data) has led to more openness and transparency. The one-off capital funding during the global financial crisis was welcomed.

Haileybury is a diverse community made up of families who value excellence in education.

The committee undertaking the review of funding is being chaired by Sydney businessman David Gonski. The report will be with the Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth Peter Garrett and the Prime Minister Julia Gillard later this year. Legislation will need to be passed through Parliament before the implementation of new funding arrangements for independent schools can begin. This will be a complex business with a minority government operating with the support of the independents in the House of Representatives and the balance of power

State Governments have a responsibility for funding state schools while the Federal Government is responsible for the majority of government funding of the independent and Catholic sector. For comparative figures to be meaningful they must include a combination of State and Federal Government statistics. In funding terms it is best to look at ‘per student figures’.

In Victoria, independent and Catholic schools educated 36.3 % of students (20082009). The combined State and Federal Government level of funding for each student in government schools in 2008-2009 was $12,381. The amount received by each Haileybury student in 2009 was $4,314.

Every student attending Haileybury in 2009 thus represented a saving to the taxpayer of $8,067 if compared with their attendance at a state school. The average per student funding figure for all independent school students was $6,050 per student. Thus every student attending an independent school represents a significant saving to the taxpayer compared to if they were at a government school.

There are those who argue an ideological position that no student attending an independent school should receive any taxpayer funds. This includes a number of the Greens parliamentary representatives.

Haileybury is a diverse community made up of families who value excellence in education. Haileybury families are hard working, tax-paying families who have chosen to support the education of their sons and daughters through paying fees.

16% of Haileybury families are in the bottom half of the Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA) figures on the My School website. Families should not be denied some Federal Government support for their sons and daughters education because they have chosen to contribute to that education through the paying of fees. We believe that receiving around one-third of the cost of having a student educated in the government sector is a reasonable position which supports diversity, quality and equity in education.

Haileybury has been actively involved in engaging with all levels of government on funding and other education issues. In the past 12 months, discussions have been held with the Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth Peter Garrett, and Shadow Minister for Education, Apprenticeships and Training Christopher Pyne. At a state level we met with former Minister for Education in Victoria Bronwyn Pike on several occasions.

Similarly, we have met with Minister for Education Martin Dixon and Parliamentary Secretary for Education Inga Peulich since the election of the Liberal National Coalition in Victoria.

Families should not be denied some Federal Government support for their sons and daughters education because they have chosen to contribute to that education through the paying of fees.

PRINCIPAL DEREK SCOTT WITH THE MINISTER FOR SCHOOL EDUCATION, EARLY CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH PETER GARRETT

The Gonski review is likely to present an interesting report as the committee attempts to balance equity in education opportunities, strong outcomes and make economic sense.

The real concern is how it may play out in a complex political environment in Canberra.

I encourage all Haileyburians to keep themselves informed on the issues.

Important decisions are about to be made, which will have an impact on the future direction of our great school.

HAILEYBURY COMMUNITY PROGRAM INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY SUPPORT The Fleming Effective Teaching Model (Explicit Instruction)

A GREAT SCHOOL – A WORLD SCHOOL

PREMIER’S AWARDS

Five Haileybury staff members were fortunate to travel to San Francisco recently to attend the American Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) Annual Conference, titled Bold Actions for Complex Challenges. We left with the brief from Principal Derek Scott to both benchmark our School’s programs against the world’s best and look for ideas that will continue our journey toward the goal of being “a great world school”.

EXCHANGE BETWEEN HAILEYBURY AND TRINITY COLLEGE SRI LANKA A sister-school relationship was established between Haileybury and Trinity College in late 2010 to support students’ education at both schools in the area of cultural and global awareness.

The Conference is one of the largest, if not the largest, education conference in the world. There were approximately 10, 000 delegates from 43 countries, although delegates from the USA far outnumbered the rest. It was an amazing experience to attend the keynote addresses, where all delegates convened in a massive meeting space in the Moscone Centre.

Two major themes of the Conference that were very relevant to implementing our vision for Haileybury were: strategies to ensure effective teaching and the effective use of technology in learning (often referred to as 21st Century learning).

JOHN FLEMING TEACHING STUDENTS IN FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND

John Fleming, Haileybury’s Deputy Principal (Junior School Teaching and Learning) is working closely with a group of Cape York schools to improve literacy and numeracy standards for students.

John’s work is supported by Haileybury and is making a significant difference to education standards for the indigenous community in Far North Queensland.

John is currently working with 18 schools in the Far North Queensland Region and works in close cooperation with the Far North Queensland Government Schools Region senior staff.

Teachers from Northern Peninsula Area College (located at the very tip of mainland Australia) recently shadowed teachers at Haileybury for a week to see the methods first hand.

John recently presented at the 2nd Annual Indigenous Education, Transitions and Employment Conference. His presentation focused on the effectiveness of explicit instruction in improving student performance and focused on the work at Bellfield Primary School (West Ivanhoe, Victoria), Northern Peninsula Area College and the other schools in Far North Queensland with indigenous students.

John is also working with schools in South Australia that have high indigenous enrolments including Whyalla, Port Lincoln, Ceduna and Woomera.

Ensuring that we have the highest quality teachers and teaching is our highest priority. We “leave no stone unturned” in ensuring we recruit, develop and retain the best teachers possible. We have recently implemented new teacher recruitment strategies, teacher coaching, professional development opportunities and performance measurement. The Conference confirmed that we are well ahead of most schools while at the same time highlighting areas for innovation.

At Haileybury, we believe that a sense of global connectedness and understanding is best developed through time spent in different cultures and we were delighted to receive Trinity College’s strong support in establishing the relationship.

The exchange program was launched in March by the visit of six Year 10 students from Trinity College. The students were hosted by Haileybury families, attended classes in the Senior School at Keysborough and participated in the co-curricular program. In addition, they joined excursions to Healesville, Cape Schanck, Phillip Island and the Murray River at Echuca. The students fitted in well and quickly won the respect and friendship of their peers.

Teachers were most impressed by their excellent behaviour and their dedication to work. Students at Haileybury enjoyed their vitality and good humour. The sense of common cultural understanding was particularly evident when everyone came together to follow the fortunes of their respective countries in the Cricket World Cup, being played at the time. It was also pleasing to see a number of Trinitarians successfully represent Haileybury in the APS sporting competition. Through their host family experiences as well as their time at school, the students came to appreciate the meaning of multiculturalism in the Australian context. They all agreed that the biggest difference between the two schools was the degree of formality in both professional (teacher-student) and personal relationships.

ANGIE WONG, YEAR 12, 2011

All associated with this first exchange between Haileybury and Trinity were delighted with the early success of the program which builds a solid foundation for continued growth and success in the future.

Trinity College is now a partner in an annual student exchange program, offered to both teachers and students of Trinity College, Kandy, and Haileybury College, Melbourne. The early success of this program marks a milestone in achievement for interaction and collaboration between our two countries and builds a solid foundation for continued growth and success in the future.

NICHOLAS DWYER VICE PRINCIPAL (CORPORATE)

Haileybury students were recently awarded nine Premier’s VCE Awards in a ceremony attended by the Premier Ted Baillieu and Minister for Education Martin Dixon. Premier’s Awards go to the top five students in subjects in the VCE. The awards were for the 2010 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.

Robert Foyster, Rachel Nicholls, Angie Wong, Joseph Moore, Sukarnan Thevalingam and Janahan Shanmugananthakumar were all in Year 11 last year.

Last year’s School Captains, Brendan Clarnette and Mietta McDonald, were also both recipients. The collective result (as seen below) placed Haileybury in the top five schools in the State:

Brendan Clarnette – Chemistry Robert Foyster – Music Industry – Technical Production (VCE VET) Mietta McDonald – Sociology Joseph Moore –History: Revolutions Rachel Nicholls – Sociology

Janahan Shanmugananthakumar – Accounting Sukarnan Thevalingam – Accounting Jack Traylen – Dance Angie Wong – Dance (Pictured)

The effective use of technology is challenging schools across Australia and the Conference highlighted that this is also the case in the USA. There were some outstanding sessions that highlighted the opportunities to use rapidly emerging technologies and software as well as web-based applications. At Haileybury, the Principal has convened the IT Strategy Committee that is planning our pathway through this challenging area. We continue to prioritise the development of Haileybury Online as an effective communication tool and as a means of delivering effective learning. In 2012 Haileybury will be expanding the availability of desktop and laptop computers and trialling iPads for our Senior School students. The Conference highlighted the need for us to be continually scanning the web for resources.

The Conference provided the Haileybury staff with a unique professional growth opportunity and the challenge is to now implement these learnings.

MY SCHOOL WEBSITE 2.0 Academic Results The release of the Federal Government’s My School 2.0 website in the first half of 2011 confirmed the outstanding academic performance of Haileybury students. The 2010 National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) results used in My School 2.0 highlight that Haileybury is one of the leading academic schools in the country.

DEREK SCOTT, PRINCIPAL

My School and Financial Data The My School website has also published data for the first time about the financial position of schools. This has been a highly contentious issue as it is difficult to compare data across different types of schools.

VICE PRINCIPAL IN ULTIMATE TRIATHLON EVENT

THE ADMISSIONS DEPARTMENT

Senior Vice Principal, Craig Glass, recently competed in Ironman Australia at Port Macquarie. The event is the ultimate triathlon endurance event consisting of a 1.8 km swim, a 190 km cycle and a 42.2 km run. He finished the event in the time of 12 hours and 40 minutes, which placed him 11th out of the 53 competitors in his age group.

On being asked about the day, Craig indicated that whilst it had been an enormous challenge, the joy of finishing and sense of achievement made it more than worthwhile.

NEW HEAD OF ADMISSIONS, KAREN WHITTEN

The new Head of Admissions at Haileybury is Ms Karen Whitten. Karen has worked in the admissions area of a number of independent schools and was most recently Registrar at Carey Grammar.

In the 20 categories for literacy and numeracy across the four year levels, Haileybury was substantially above all national benchmarks and above or substantially above all similar schools’ benchmarks. Particularly outstanding was the performance in writing and numeracy.

Given that the My School exposure means that all schools across the country have put significant emphasis on NAPLAN, this is a wonderful achievement.

Perhaps the most interesting section on My School 2.0 is Student gain. This uses only the data from students who sat the NAPLAN at Haileybury in 2008 and 2010 to show improvement in a cohort across the two years. For instance, it measures Haileybury’s Year 3 cohort in 2008 and compares with the same student cohort in Year 5 in 2010. These data highlight the outstanding value-added performance of Haileybury across time. In all three categories (reading, writing, numeracy) at all measured levels (Years 3 to 5, Years 5 to 7, Years 7 to 9), Haileybury students achieved at a higher rate and improved at a faster level than similar schools.

We are very proud of the academic performance of the School as demonstrated in the national testing and shown on the My School website.

It reflects the strong relationship between

the School and parents, the excellent structures Haileybury has in place (three campuses, Parallel Education, small classes) and, most importantly, outstanding teaching. Research shows that, after taking into account socio-economic factors, between 60% to 80% of the variance in academic performance is attributable to the quality of teachers in the classroom.

Given that the similar schools on My School are socio-economically equal to Haileybury, it is fair to say that Haileybury’s ‘teacher quality’ is outstanding.

In the 20 categories for literacy and numeracy across the four year levels, Haileybury was substantially above all national benchmarks and above or substantially above all similar schools’ benchmarks.

Haileybury believes that the My School initiative has been an excellent one. It has returned a much-needed emphasis in education discussions to the core business of literacy and numeracy.

Note: There are two anomalies on the first page of the My School website for Haileybury. Student numbers are shown as 3,101 for 2010 and should be 3,419. The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) has been informed of this and is yet to correct it. Post-school destinations do not include the students who were accepted into university but have deferred for a year. If they were included, the university figure for Haileybury would be 86. This is an anomaly for all Victorian schools but not for schools in other States.

Haileybury’s information has always been publicly available through the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) website. In addition, Haileybury’s Annual Report can be found on the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) website. Some of Haileybury’s financial data from 2009 are now on the My School website. In 2009, Haileybury generated a gross income of $64.7 million which equates to $20,136 per student. Of this, $4,314 per student was from State and Federal Governments.

This represents slightly more than onethird of the recurrent per student cost to the taxpayer of a student attending a government school. Servicing of debt cost $4,660,616 in 2009. Haileybury has enjoyed significant success and growth and follows a policy of borrowing to build so that current families at the School get the benefit of using the facilities as the debt is being paid down. Haileybury’s small class sizes policy saw the employment of 394 teaching staff and 102 non-teaching staff in 2010. 64% of the total School expenses go to staff salaries.

In any discussion about funding arising from the My School data, it is important to note that Haileybury is a not-for-profit organisation. This means that any surplus produced must be put straight back into the School. In Haileybury’s case we produce a surplus to repay borrowings and further invest in capital infrastructure.

She joins us on the retirement of Ms Jeanette Hardy. Jeanette had been at Haileybury for 21 years and was Registrar for 11 years.

Note: The Registrar’s Office will now be known as the Admissions Office.

ADAM ELLIOT (OH ’89) RETURNS TO HAILEYBURY

PRINCIPAL DEREK SCOTT, STEWART BELL, ADAM ELLIOT AND JANET STRACHAN

Adam Elliot (OH ‘89) won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film Harvey Krumpet in 2003. Adam spoke to staff last month as part of their Professional Development Program about his inspiration and his not always straightforward journey.

He did note his appreciation to teachers at Haileybury who assisted in supporting his creativity. He gave particular mention to Stewart Bell for his work with drama and Janet Strachan for her love of literature.

UPCOMING MAJOR WORKS In the past ten years Haileybury has committed more than $100 million dollars to its capital works program. This has included Senior School developments at Brighton, Berwick and Keysborough, Girls Middle School buildings at all three sites, Pre-Senior (Year 9) buildings on all three sites, an upgrade of sports facilities including the provision of indoor pools at all three sites, the John Twist Hall at Berwick and the library at Brighton. The capital works development continues with an addition to the Junior School at Newlands and a significant ELC development, additional classrooms and East and West Wing upgrade at Brighton.

Newlands James Prentice (Year 12) was awarded first prize in the student entry section of the Australian Woodturning Exhibition for his superbly designed and made Coastal Banksia bowl with resin inlay, (pictured above).

James Melani (Year 10) was awarded third prize for his beautiful bowl in mahogany, (pictured below).

A new six classroom development at the Newlands Junior School has received planning approval, and construction has recently commenced. The new buildings will be ready for use at the start of 2012.

Brighton

HAILEYBURY

BY THE NUMBERS As of August 2011, Haileybury now has 3502 students at 3 campuses with 711 staff members.

Student numbers are almost 2000 more than the figure in 1996.

The building was purposely constructed in the geographical centre of the campus so that it could equally serve all parts of the School ranging from ELC through to Year 12.

The building is constructed on two levels, with the ground floor consisting of a library, its back-of-house services and the back-up server room for all of the Haileybury campuses. Although the library front-of-house area is free of internal columns and structure, it is acoustically treated and divided into three main areas by the library shelving and student desks.

These three main areas are designed to serve the Junior School, Middle School and Senior School for both Library and formal class purposes, although each area can be used by other parts of the School.

There is also an external decking area on the western end for recreational and educational use in suitable weather.

The upper floor provides the School with three large resource rooms/classrooms which can open up into one, two or three rooms for educational and event purposes. A fourth smaller resource room is currently set up as a staff room for six teachers and contains a kitchenette to provide catering for events. There are also male and female amenities on this level.

Both levels have commanding views over the main football oval and northerly aspects, with the upper level even having distant city skyline views. On the south side, both levels overlook the tennis courts and Villeroy St. The building incorporates many sustainable and energy efficient measures such as northerly shading, motorised and manual blinds, cross-flow ventilation, ceiling fans, dimmable lighting, roof rainwater collection, insulation and efficient air conditioning.

ARTISTS IMPRESSION OF THE NEW BUILDINGS AT BRIGHTON

A large development program is underway to improve the Brighton campus. The proposed works include a new two-storey classroom and tuck shop building which will connect to the west end of the new library. The ELC will be relocated to 19 Villeroy Street which will allow the East Wing to be used as a Junior School. The current plan is estimated to be completed in 2013, subject to the project obtaining planning approval. The ongoing window refurbishment in the East and West Wing and Dickinson Hall will continue in the next term break.

GREASE THE MUSICAL

CAPTAIN OF HAILEYBURY COLLEGE Diving events while The Head of the River saw all crews giving nothing less than a hard fight to culminate their rigorous season. It was encouraging to see the Senior School cohort increase in numbers attending each event from previous years, highlighting the new drive for a stronger sporting culture at Haileybury. Now nearing the end of the winter season, the Bloods are looking positive towards surpassing all expectations.

As is always the case at Haileybury, Semester 1 has been a busy and engaging term, with a multitude of events making it all the more exciting. Semester 1 has seen students avidly apply themselves to the many different walks of school life and in true Haileybury style, the hard work and perseverance of all students has again reflected the enjoyable and dynamic atmosphere at the School.

On the sporting side of things, Term 1 gave way to the massive double-header of the APS Swimming and Diving followed

by The Head of the River, occurring in the same week. The boys and girls teams accomplished fantastic results, placing an impressive third in both Swimming and

Coming off the sporting field, our musicians proudly represented us internationally during their tour of America, while the Drama department has worked tirelessly to present unforgettable productions. The Year 10 play was Alice Dreaming, a contemporary take on the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland, which gave the new students entering Senior School a taste of stage life and Drama at Haileybury. Overlapping with this was the energetic preparations for the highly anticipated musical; the much loved, systematic, hydromatic Grease. Taking place over three huge nights in May, the hard work of everyone involved was gratified as the quality performance was exceptionally well received.

The Semester brought out the best in compassion from every student to recognise links with not only our whole school charity, The Oaktree Foundation, but also the broader global community.

Students supported the people of Japan and flood-affected Queensland with special fundraisers, which included a special performance by the up-and-coming local band The Scarecrows.

…highlighting the new drive for a stronger sporting culture at Haileybury.

I would like to congratulate all students for their efforts, both academic and extracurricular, and wish everyone the best as we take hold of the coming challenges in the next Semester and make great memories out of them all.

HUY VU

CAPTAIN OF HAILEYBURY GIRLS COLLEGE to each sport being shown by girls across all years. We may be a young school, but the Haileybury Girls sure are playing like seasoned professionals.

A whirlwind is how the first semester at Haileybury can be described. With action on all fronts, it sure has been jam packed for all Haileyburians. 2011 has seen a great start to our academic achievements, sporting prowess and passion for the arts.

Great support this year was seen at our major APS finals. Students from both Haileybury College and Haileybury Girls College performed as great cheer squads, in particular showing their enthusiasm at the Head of the River in Nagambie, as well as both the swimming and diving finals at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. Although large competitions, congratulations must also go to the other girls sporting teams this past season.

I have heard on many accounts about the fantastic sportsmanship and dedication

The focus, however, has not just been on the field, with much attention being given to the Drama performances this year. To kick the year off, we had the great pleasure of watching the year 10 production of Alice Dreaming. A leftof-centre interpretation of the classic children’s story Alice in Wonderland, I, among many others thoroughly enjoyed watching not only my own brother but many of the other younger Senior School students getting involved. We quickly moved onto Grease, an exciting, but as those involved know, large production.

There was been much anticipation for such a widely enjoyed production.

Beyond our own School achievements though, each year we commit ourselves to helping others achieve also. Oaktree is our School charity, which aims to eliminate poverty through educating in developing countries, lobbying governmental policies and creating greater awareness among school aged students. Like most years, there have already been many student-organised fundraisers, which have fuelled our enthusiasm for really

making a difference. This year also saw the Queensland floods and devastating earthquakes in Japan. To help out those in Queensland, we held our own flood relief concert with The Scarecrows, a band of old Haileyburians who performed at Aikman Hall. Furthermore, the creative languages department whipped up badges (among many other items) to be sold around the School in order to fundraise for the Japan crisis.

Enjoying the extra-curricular activities and committing ourselves to our academics has resulted in the infectious Haileybury atmosphere.

It sure has been action packed, but that’s the way we like it at Haileybury.

Enjoying the extra-curricular activities and committing ourselves to our academics has resulted in the infectious Haileybury atmosphere. I look forward to the rest of the year and applaud all the hard work that has been done so far.

KIRSTY WYNN

Over 130 performers and crew were involved in an outstanding production of the Senior School Musical Grease, presented on three nights in Aikman Hall.

It is a great production for a large cast of teenagers, and students from all Senior School campuses featured. There was a wonderful depth to the singing and Rob Foyster and Nicola Mummery were outstanding in their lead roles as Danny and Sandy. Mr Nicolas Frame directed the show with the assistance of Miss Nicole Smith and the large cast of dancers were superbly choreographed and prepared by Ms Samantha Drury, Mrs Lauren Perfect and Mrs Kristy Kendall.

The Theatre Studies Unit 3 and 4 students did a wonderful job with the staging and, similarly, the VET Music Industry Unit 3 and 4 students were outstanding in their complex sound design arrangements. New Head of Music, Ms Amanda Rowarth, conducted a wonderful band.

“I guess it was inevitable I would grow up watching Grease; born in the 70s, with two older sisters, I was imitating Danny and Kenickie well before my own time at high school!

The production team has had a fantastic time developing a show that not only taps into so many instantly recognisable aspects of the 1978 movie, but also stays true to Jim Jacobs’ and Warren Casey’s original 1971 stage production, all the while being very much `our own’ show. The result is one of the biggest musicals we’ve yet staged at Haileybury!

Hats off to the cast, who have worked tirelessly and brought so much enthusiasm and energy to do justice to so many well-known characters and numbers.”

SPORT FOR EVERYONE AT HAILEYBURY Haileybury offers an immense array of sports to students like no other school in Australia. Principal Derek Scott says that, “Haileybury’s approach is to provide a wide range of sports to enable all students to find an activity they can enjoy. This is not universally the case. For example, many Sydney boys schools offer only three sports in summer and three in winter: a narrow choice which every student must fit.”

REBELS AND RUGBY PREMIERSHIP

ROWING

Haileybury rugby has enjoyed an exciting season winning the Victorian Schools Second Division premiership, receiving several visits from Melbourne Rebels players and hosting the William Web Ellis Trophy (Rugby World Cup) during the rugby premiership assembly.

Rugby is played by a diverse range of schools from the APS, AGSV, and Catholic and Government sectors. Haileybury triumphed 17-14 over St Patrick’s College Ballarat in the season grand final. The team was well led by Duncan Glascodine, whilst Brendan Westney was the outstanding player in the final.

During the season the team was helped

by Melbourne Rebels players including English international Danny Cipriani and New Zealand prop forward Ged Robinson.

Former Wallaby Matt Cockbain also attended training sessions.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Over the long weekend, the First VIII crews travelled to Adelaide for the annual National Rowing Championships. With high hopes, the crews arrived in South Australia after a delayed flight and began their preparation for racing. Although being competitive in their heat, the boys did not finish in the top three, thus requiring them to qualify through the repechage race. Losing a crew member to sickness, the team was severely depleted and only managed to qualify for the ‘c’ final. Rowing well, the crew finished in second place out of seven teams. The girls rowed very well, finishing the ‘b’ final in 4th position, ranking them 10th nationally.

Another former Wallaby and Melbourne Rebels player Adam Freier presented the team with their medallions at the Premiership Assembly. Freier brought with him the William Webb Ellis Cup and Haileybury’s rugby players were delighted to have their photo taken with one of the premier trophies of world sport.

The international nature of rugby was evident at Haileybury as the program in 2011 was headed by commerce teacher Jeremy Rowe (from England) and the First XV was coached by history teacher Gauthier Bouchardeau (from France).

The team’s final game of the season was against United Kingdom visitors the Cranbrook School.

TABLE TENNIS TRIATHLON

After another remarkable summer in 2011, the Haileybury First Table Tennis Team has again gone through the season undefeated. This extraordinary achievement has seen Haileybury win the APS Premiership Cup 16 of the last 17 years, including winning the title every year since 1995; except 2003, when we were runners up to Scotch College.

The outstanding achievement of our past and present Table Tennis Teams is unmatched by any other APS School in the sport.

Congratulations to the whole team, Jesse Bricknell, Nikita Bricknell, Callan Jones, Jason Liu, Leon Suy and Daniel Zou. Nikita is the first female student to represent Haileybury in the APS competition.

After a brilliant season, the Haileybury Triathlon team won the co-ed schools event in the ‘xosize series’. The result placed us in front of other APS and AGSV schools as well as many other independent, catholic and government schools from across the State. This is an outstanding result for the students involved and we congratulate the members of the team. Triathlon has seen an exponential growth across the School in recent years, in part due to the individual achievement of our many state team members, including Lucy Pearce, Jared Klein, Corey Rich and Alex Hughes.

SAILING On 6 July, the Haileybury Team of six sailors led by Captain Alison Dale took an early morning flight to Perth to take their place amongst the 14 top team racing schools in Australia at the Australian Schools Team Racing Championship.

Ciarra Leonard, Mitch Petzke, Gus Ekberg, and Philippa and Eliza Solly were coached by Mr Allan Goodall and Mr Andy Hunting in this very tactical and entertaining form of sailing.

Teams sailing is an extremely fast-paced event, with around 70 races being contested each day, each match lasting around six minutes. The Swiss league scoring system employed in this form of racing matches teams against opponents

with a similar win:loss ratio. After four days of sailing, the Haileybury crew finished in a credible 10th position, the 2nd of the Victorian teams.

Eliza and Phillipa Solly raced in the Queensland Youth Week championships in a 29er the week before the teams racing and finished as the top team from Victoria and 3rd overall.

In March saw the racing of the 144th boys and the 31st girls Heads of the River APS Regatta. The Haileybury crews performed exceptionally well, with a number of VIII seat crews racing, while, for the first time ever, a boys IV crew. For the boys, the regatta saw two major highlights: 1st VIII crew made the A final, beating St Kevin’s over the line in their morning heat, while the Open IV crew, in their straight final, went on to win convincingly, recording Haileybury’s first win at this major APS event. The girls first VIII crew finished the race in fourth position in extremely windy conditions.

HEAD OF THE SCHOOL GIRLS

On Friday, 19 March, Ms Connie Vanderwerp, Mr Martin Francis and Ms Patricia Kavanagh accompanied 70 girls to row at the Head of the School Girls regatta at Geelong. The 1st VIII finished third in their semi final and the 2nd VIII won the B final. The competition between the six APS schools was fierce, setting the scene for an exciting regatta APS Heads of the River.

GOLF APS GOLF CHAMPIONS

Haileybury won their third straight APS Golf Championship earlier in the year.

The final round, played at Royal Melbourne Golf Course, was eagerly contested and Haileybury’s four playing members, including Conor Davis, Leigh Pritchard, David Shimmin and Ryan Ruffels played exceptionally well to outscore their opponents.

Haileybury completed a ‘hattrick’ of APS/ AGSV/BAS Golf Premierships at Royal Melbourne Golf Course. Conor Davis (79), David Shimmin (79), Leigh Pritchard (79) and Ryan Ruffels (75) combined for a team total of 312 strokes; they finished 3 shots clear of St Kevin’s.

Ryan, who is the third-ranked player in the world for his age group and plays off a handicap of 1, also won the individual competition by shooting the lowest score on the day.

VICTORIAN SCHOOLS TEAMS GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS

Haileybury sent five teams to the qualifying round of the Victorian Schools Teams Golf Championships, held in April at Rossdale Golf Course. The students came from all campuses and all performed admirably.

GIRLS GIRLS SPORT Haileybury Girls sport program recognises the diversity of VOLLEYBALL The our population by offering sports that appeal to different cultural PREMIERSHIP groups and geographically varied cohorts.

The volleyball team led by Captains Carmie Miletto and Alison Dale and Vice Captain Demi Woodlock defeated Yarra Valley Grammar in the final round of the season to win the premiership. The team of Letitia Sindt, Hannah Paletua, Makayla Mitchell, Lucy Anderson, Sarah Jackson, Tiffany Klonaris, Holly Woodlock and Claire Templeton played to their full potential in the final round, winning the match in four sets and securing the shared premiership.

Congratulations to coach Ms Shannon Winzer and Head of Girls Volleyball Ms Sandra Carter.

In addition to the traditional sports offered in the APS program, the girls have the opportunity to participate in rowing, dance, aerobics, squash, touch football, lawn bowls, snow sports and golf to name a few. The triathlon team commonly attracts girls from the Bayside suburbs where easy access to the bay allows ample training opportunities. Alternatively, the equestrian program allows school sport to offer opportunities for students with access to horses. In addition to competing for the School, the equestrian program

incorporates a social justice element, encouraging students to volunteer with the Riders with Disabilities program.

In partnership with Table Tennis Victoria, a Saturday morning schools competition has been established, which appeals to many of our students who are not attracted to the APS traditional sports.

The aim of the Girls Sport Program is to encourage active participation by offering the girls activities that they are intrinsically motivated to participate in.

CAPTAINS OF SPORT

Two of our teams qualified for the State Final.

• Will Garner had 42 stableford points, Alex McTaggart had 37, and Marcus Walker had 34 for a team total of 79 points • Sean Smith had 47 points, Bailey Watson had 41, and Youp Okhuizen had 33 for a team total of 88 points.

GIRLS TOUCH FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

Sean’s round in particular was amazing.

He shot 78 off the stick (6 over), which was 11 shots better than his handicap – An outstanding score of 47 stableford points in a round of golf.

The touch football team set off on their final round of summer sport with the championship in sight and did not disappoint! A victory on 25 March against The Peninsula School delivered an undefeated season and championship to Captain Courtney Baron, Vice Captain Hope Underwood and Sarah Pain, Shayne Holden, Caitlin Cruise, Natalie Raso, Anna Davey, Lauren Madsen, Emily Leckie, Beth Brewer, Sienna Fogerty and Bianca Grabowski.

Congratulations to Mr Bouchardeau who has coached the team for the past three seasons.

Georgina Cuthbertson

Brede Seccull

On Sunday, 26 June, Georgina Cuthbertson attended the Pierre De Coubertin Awards Ceremony and Olympic Academy at the MCG. Georgina was nominated for this award as she has been an enthusiastic sportswoman at Haileybury since she started in Year 7.

By Year 8 her passion for sport was evident as she involved herself in every available opportunity and held the position of campus sports captain. She has been a member of the Haileybury First girls Water Polo team since she was in Year 9 and is an integral part of the squad that won three consecutive APS premierships. Year 9 was also her debut in the First Netball team and in Year 10 she broke into the First Tennis team. As a Year 12 student, she now captains all three teams as well as holds the position of Girls College Sports Captain. She has been selected in the APS representative Netball team for the past three years and in the APS Tennis team in 2010 and 2011. Georgina is an inspiration to the younger girls in the School and mentors younger students.

Brede Seccull has made an outstanding contribution to Haileybury sport throughout 2011. Brede holds the position of Boys Sports Captain and has fulfilled this leadership role superbly; setting a fine example at assemblies, APS functions and when representing Haileybury on the playing field. The Seccull family has a strong sporting heritage at Haileybury with Brede’s father Darren and Uncle Mark being prominent sportsmen in the mid 1980’s. Brede has certainly added to the sporting history and alongside his Sports Captain position he holds the rare distinction of being captain of both the 1st XI Cricket and the 1st XVIII Football teams. In both these sports he has represented Haileybury with distinction, earning the respect of team-mates and opposition alike. In the 2011 cricket season he was awarded the Rendall Bat as the highest run scorer and at the time of writing, he has been a regular amongst the best players for the 1st XVIII during season 2011.

ARCHIVES

FOUNDATION UPDATE Distinguished OH, Jim Brown, has given an unimaginable amount of time, dedication and support to Haileybury for 70 years.

He spent the majority of his school days under the Headmastership of Sholto Black. When he commenced as a prep student in 1942, trenches were being dug in the School grounds as a precaution against air raids from Japanese aircraft. He attended Haileybury for 11 years before rising to the position of School Captain in 1954. Jim later became a highly successful teacher and senior school administrator, Head of House, OHA President, Dean of Heritage & Tradition and Assistant to the Principal, as well as a Life Governor.

As Head Boy and then a young school leaver, Jim wrote to his former headmaster who counselled him in his chosen career. These letters are still in Mr Brown’s possession.

These valuable documents will even­tutally be deposited in the Archives in the care of Honorary Archivist Keith White.

OHA SURVEY RESULTS

MR JIM BROWN.

In late 2010 the OHA commissioned consulting group, DBM Consultants, to conduct a survey of Old Haileyburians to determine their needs and preferences and to establish priorities for level of service to Old Haileyburians.

• OHA members are highly aware of the different methods in which the OHA can engage with them. Their preferred means of communication is through “push” rather than “pull”, opting for emails or e-bulletins.

The main aim of the survey was to identify the factors that drive involvement (or non involvement) with the OHA, the perceived relevance of the OHA and its current offer, as well as the extent to which it meets the needs of members so that the OHA can take appropriate action to increase its relevance and foster member participation.

• A small group of members are satisfied with the current activities that are offered to them, although one in five members contacted via the telephone would like sporting activity events and one in four website members would like informal social events.

The following summarises some of the key results: • Drivers of people attending events are largely personal rather than professional – wanting to catch up with old classmates and seeing how the School is progressing were two of the key reasons.

• The key reasons for non attendance at events were: not knowing who else was attending and being time poor.

TRENCHES BEING DUG AT HAILEYBURY.

is an affiliate member of the Foundation and is able to receive grants from the Foundation provided donors indicate a “preference” as to how they wish their gift to be allocated. Grants are authorised by the Directors and are normally awarded twice a year, once in late January and again in the fall. Additional information about the AIS USA Foundation may be found at www.aisusafoundation.com.

• There were no issues with the awareness and the enjoyment of those who attended events.

• OHA members are extremely satisfied with the OHA with almost all website members claiming the OHA meets or exceeds their expectations (96%).

• With regard to potential future events, Industry nights were most appealing for members contacted via the telephone, while business and industry mentoring along with employment and career development services are desired by website members.

• Professional events offer more appeal to website members who attended the Keysborough campus (Industry night 77%, employment and career development services 82%, HR agency 70%).

• Recent school leavers are the least engaged Old Haileyburians as they have yet to attend any OHA events and have little experience or knowledge of what is on offer.

As a direct result of these findings, the OHA has undertaken the following actions: • Committed to organising two Industry events per year focussing specifically on a particular industry. In 2011, events have focussed on Business and Commerce and the Health Sciences industry.

• Commenced an employment directory on the OHA website, operating exclusively for OHA members (see details elsewhere in this publication).

• Made a conscious effort to become more visible to Senior students at Haileybury in order to allow them to understand the services provided by the OHA and the benefits of becoming an OHA member.

• Members attending future OHA events will be able to determine who else is attending by referring to the reunions/ events area of the OHA website.

• Diversified the means by which we communicate with members – improving our facebook page and adding Linked in and Twitter to our social mediums.

• Changed the style of many of the year group reunions to a more informal get together often at central venues away from the School.

• Diversified the range of clubs and interest groups available to Old Haileyburians.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE I had the great pleasure of attending the 50th anniversary celebration of the Old Haileyburian’s Amateur Football Club in March at the MCG, along with over 400 other people, drawn to relive the history of this great part of our community.

The night was a wonderful celebration of the club, and Haileybury as a whole.

Just as the School started from humble beginnings, the OHAFC grew from the passion of a few. It had moments when it has seemingly reached its demise but through the hard work and dedication of many, it has succeeded. The night was full of great stories, some of which may have grown somewhat over the years, and tremendous comradeship.

I couldn’t help but feel that the reason the club has survived to reach its half century is because it has delivered exactly what a club and organisation such as the OHA should- keeping Old Haileyburians in touch with each other and the school while contributing to the advancement of the Haileybury community.

Attending a home match at McKinnon is a great trip through the Haileybury fellowship, with recent leavers running around in the under 19’s, the reserves and seniors sporting a range of players (some of whom left the school as far back as the mid 80’s), and a range of members and supporters representing many decades of magenta and black. The club is a great unifier and this is something that is not unique to football.

Every weekend (and most nights of the week) our clubs are providing wonderful opportunities for Old Haileyburians to keep in touch with new friends and old.

The OHA Council has identified club assistance and development as one of its key objectives and through the leadership of Jarrod McLauchlan and Matt Baxter we have seen new clubs emerge in the past two years, and have been working closely with the clubs to identify what assistance they need to grow and continue to provide great opportunities for Old Haileyburians.

High on the list of priorities is ensuring our clubs are offering female Old Haileyburians attractive options to get involved.

As always, participants are the key need of all clubs and as such I encourage you to check out the clubs at oha.org.au and get involved. The Cricket club, in particular, is keen to hear from players and what better time to get involved with the club as we congratulate the second ever Old Haileyburian to play for Australia, James Pattinson.

Elsewhere in this edition of the Haileyburian, you will read about the findings of the research project conducted by the OHA. The outcomes have in some cases reaffirmed beliefs, but in many have challenged the conventions that the OHA has operated under for the best part of a century. What we learnt was that the Haileybury community is more diverse than ever, that there are some key things our members want from the OHA, and some very clear opportunities to grow our services and improve what we do.

Interestingly, the core objectives of the association touched on above, where reaffirmed, however how we deliver these needs to change.

We will now act on these findings and, with the support of the School in finalising the financial model for the Association, begin to invest in new initiatives and programs that our members have told us they want.

The OHAFC’s success has been achieved in large part due to its ability to adapt to the changing needs of each generation of Old Haileyburians and ensure it remains an attractive place to play football and continue friendships. This adaptability is something the OHA as a whole will be using as we ensure we grow our relevance for all members of the Haileybury community over the coming months and years.

CHRIS DALLEY (OH ’73) Chris, who attended Haileybury from Grade 2 in 1963 until 1973, died on Saturday 26 February at the family property at Forrest.

DARON MCFARLANE (OH ‘81)

INDUSTRY NIGHTS Due to an increasing demand from alumni members for events reflecting specific professional careers, the OHA recently held two industry events: The first was specifically for those looking for a career in the Commerce and Business Industry and the second, for those interested in the Health Sciences field. Over 70 Old Haileyburians, current students and parents took the opportunity to attend each event and listen to the stories and advice of Old Haileyburians and guests. Our students and young Old Haileyburians now understand the value of the OHA network and we are indebted to our guests for attending the night and offering their mentoring services well into the future.

We are indebted to the following Old Haileyburians who spoke on each of the nights: Geoff Sincock (OH ’75), Rebecca Hibbert (OH 2007), Roger Paul (OH ’73), Ishan Dan (OH ’98), Jim Kydas (OH ’84), Paul Antos (OH ’82), Jarrod Broadbent (OH ’88), Tim Jacob (OH 2005), Darren Scammell (OH ’82), Dr. Eric Allan (OH ’66), Dr. Ian Sinclair (OH ’66), Dr. Douglas Travis (OH ’74), Dr. Adrian Trivett (OH ’84), Dr. Ajay Kapadia (OH ’97), Dr. Simon Nazaretian (OH ’90), Nick Hutchinson (OH 2006), and guest, Kendall Macdowell.

PAST AND CURRENT PRESIDENTS OF THE OLD HAILEYBURIANS AMATEUR FOOTBALL CLUB CELEBRATING 50 YEARS

The OHAFC celebrated their 50th anniversary in style on 26 March 2011, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Over 400 people from all eras attended one of the most spectacular events ever attempted by our Association. MC Stephen Phillips (OH ’70) set the scene with his most professional persona and knowledge of the Football Club. Legends from each of the decades told their stories of how this Football Club has become one of the most respected in the VAFA. From past players to parents, supporters and current players, everyone crammed into the Members Dining Room and you could hear a pin drop as Principal, Derek Scott, paid his tribute to the Club in a wonderful toast. Club legends Roger Paul, Andrew Bonwick, Darren Seccull, Don Lord and A Grade Premiership Coach, Peter Nicholson, all expressed their passion for the Club and told of how much the Club meant to them. Equally, it was wonderful to see 11 members of the first ever team to pull on the magenta and black guernsey of the OHAFC present.

To celebrate this brilliant achievement the Club has put together a wonderful 400page book of the history of the Club titled Play Harder. The book was written and edited by David Southgate with assistance from Allen White. Contact Andrew Hicks on 0407 220 952 to reserve your copy.

The 2011 season ended on a disappointing note for the Old Haileybury Football Club with a loss to grand finalists Collegians in the final round. Two losses late in the year ensured that the Club would be relegated to Premier B section for 2012. We take the positives into next season with four great wins this year and a number of extremely closely fought matches, many against top line performers such as Old Xaverians and St Bede’s, Mentone.

The Under 19s had a wonderful season under the guidance of coach, Matthew Kelly (OH ’91). The team recorded ten wins for the season and narrowly missed a berth in the finals when a kick after the siren went astray. We were buoyed this year by the amount of recent leavers playing for the Club. Numbers available for selection and on the track mid-week were at an alltime high. This augers well for the future of the Club and our expectation is that a great number of 2011 leavers will take up the challenge of playing for the OHAFC next season.

No club can flourish in these times without the support of major sponsors. Buxton Real Estate in Hampton East, Astoria Honda in North Road, The Bank of Queensland Frankston Branch and shopfitter One68 are our key sponsors and we ask one thing of you all – support those who support us!

Pre-season training will commence in November. Further details can be obtained from Club President, Andrew Hicks, on 0407 220 952.

OHA CLUBS The OHA wishes to congratulate two sporting Club legends – Clark Anstis (OH ’75) on breaking the OHA Hockey Club games record of 556 matches and Mark Seccull (OH ’86) on becoming only the second OHA Football Club member to play 300 games. A fantastic achievement by both Clark and Mark!

OHA HOCKEY

OHA LAWN BOWLS

OHA BOWLS TEAM

In March the Old Haileybury Bowls team made their third consecutive appearance in the 37th Annual Public Schools Old Boys Bowls tournament.

CLARK ANSTIS IN HIS RECORD BREAKING GAME FOR THE OHA HOCKEY TEAM

The Summer 2010/11 hockey season proved to be hard work for our two teams, a mixed team and a men’s team, who usually played against strong teams.

However, with an earlier-than-usual start to the Winter 2011 season early in April, this meant that the summer season players were fitter for the start of the next!

For the current Winter season, we have two men’s teams (playing in State League 5 and Metropolitan 3 South) and one women’s team (Metropolitan 4 South) All the teams have registered wins early in the season, with the SL5 team taking top of the ladder in Round 1 and staying there for weeks! Team captains, Jon Blackman, Ash Jalota and Alison Graham are keeping their players organised and enthusiastic, which is what we like to see.

As Coach, Jon is also patiently instilling in the players the basic skills and the match play strategies needed to get that ball into the net!

Round 2 saw Clark Anstis reach a new record of 556 official winter matches for the Club, passing Ian Newman’s 555 matches. The SL5 team came back after Swinburne scored early in the game to register a memorable 1-1 draw. The supporters on the day included a number of the Club’s players back in 1976, when Clark started playing for OHAHC. They marvelled at the developments at the Senior School (Keysborough) since their last visits, and also that Clark could still run around the hockey field!

If you’d like to pick up a hockey stick and have a run with our teams, then we’d love to see you! Check out our website, www.ohahc.org.au, where you will find more contact details and other information about the Club … come and join in the fun!

LISA EMERY SECRETARY@OHAHC.ORG.AU

This is an annual event with lots of fun, revelry and rivalry and is a keenly sought after championship for old boys of the APS schools, with Haileybury winning the trophy in 1989 and 1992!

After the last two years saw the Old Haileybury Bowls team finish 7th and 5th respectively, the new team was keen to progress even further. With their best result in many years the team finished a credible 3rd behind eventual back-to-back winner, Xavier.

It was a great effort by all the 16 players who won a total of eight rinks out of a possible 12, with every rink of four players winning at least one rink.

Best performing rink for Old Haileybury was made up of David Young (OH ’62), Mark Thompson (OH ’82), Greg Fidler (OH ’73) and Barry Culph, who won all three of their matches.

Some of the regular participating Old Boy Schools include Old Carey Grammarians, Caulfield Grammarians, Old Wesley Collegians, Old Melburnians, Old Xaverians, Old Brighton Grammarians, St.Kevin’s Old Collegians and the Old Scotch Collegians.

The Bowls Cub will be looking to run its inaugural Club Championship and a social bowls day at its home base, Bentleigh Bowls Club.

Please contact Mark Thompson (OH ’82) at mark.thompson15@bigpond.com if you are interested.

OHA SOCCER

OHA BASKETBALL

On the back of a premiership-winning 2010, the Old Haileybury Soccer Club achieved promotion and in 2011 is competing in the FFV Men’s Metropolitan South-East Division.

In April 2011, OHA basketball fielded a team in a Thursday Men’s Winter Competition at Melbourne Sports Aquatic Centre (MSAC) in Albert Park, a familiar court for APS Basketball. We have a positive mix of Haileyburians, with past school players, 2000 1st V Captain, and 2010 Year 12 leavers 1st V players including Josh Dawson, Stuart Mileo and Lachlan Peavey.

The first challenge for 2011 was competing in the ‘Mirabella Cup’ where our senior team took to the park against a state league opponent. Although unsuccessful on the day this proved a valuable learning experience for many of the club’s newer recruits.

The 2011 season has been about growth as a club. ‘The Bloods’ are now represented by both men’s seniors and reserves teams, creating a healthy interclub competition for a starting position in the senior 11. This year’s playing group has bonded strongly as the season progresses, with many challenges including a higher grade of opponent and, at times, minimal substitutes. Overcoming these obstacles has helped build a culture of determination and resilience which will help drive the club forward into the future.

In 2012 the club is again fielding two men’s teams, seniors and reserves. The club will also strive to field a women’s team in 2012.

For more information about the club or how to become involved, please contact Club President, Chris Jame (Email: cdjame@gmail.com Mobile: 0418 358 020) or Head Coach, Nic Apostolidis (Email: nic.apostolidis@gmail.com Mobile: 0405 535 997).

OHA CRICKET The OHA Cricket Club is set to re-launch in 2011 after, unfortunately, having to withdraw last season. A number of OHA members have expressed a desire to play this season and so the club will re-enter a team into the MCC Club XI competition (one-day competition) which runs from the middle of October to the end of February.

Involvement as players is crucial to the success of the club as we strive to achieve the standards we have met in the past.

We need to know of our members playing intentions, even if it means that you can only commit to playing some of the games.

The more players we have involved in the club, the more enjoyable it will be for all.

The Old Haileyburians Association has committed to managing the administration of the club, with the team selections being the only main function for the new committee.

Please RSVP with regards to your playing intentions for the 2011/2012 season to Matthew Baxter at mbaxter@pulbrookair.com.au.

OHA ATHLETICS

Haileybury Basketball has had much success over the last decade and has developed a large network of skilled players and already established teams. We can build from this network and hope to field more teams across competitions and continue the Haileybury Basketball history. For further information, please contact Andrew Kennedy – andrew.kennedy@reece.com.au

OHA THOROUGBRED CLUB A most exciting initiative in 2011 has been the introduction of the OHA Thorougbred Club. 50 members of the Haileybury community have each purchased a share in a racehorse to be trained by past Haileybury parent and leading Cranbourne trainer, Michael Kent. The horse has excellent breeding (Holy Roman Emperor x She’s Alluring) and looks set to launch her racing career early in 2012. It is anticipated that the filly will race in the Haileybury colours of magenta and black and will carry a name synonymous with Haileybury.

We will be looking to set up more syndicates in the near future. Those interested should contact Russell Davidson on 9213 2218.

OHA DANCE The OHA Dance Hip Hop team has started up for the first time in 2011, with all the final members of the Hip Hop squad from the class of 2010 taking part. Organising and being a part of OHA Dance has been an amazing experience.

Not only has it provided us with the opportunity to continue dancing in the forum we are all most accustomed to, but it has also enabled us to maintain our ties with Haileybury College and the School community. OHA Dance is yet another example of how friendships built at Haileybury are truly life long, and highlights again the strong relationships built between students and the Haileybury Community, ensuring that even after graduating we are all still active members of this wider School community.

BEENA YAMIN (OH 2010) AND TANIA CHAU (OH 2010)

Haileybury Athletics Club has made a promising start to our 2011 winter campaign.

The decision was made to, first; establish a presence in the AV summer competition.

We entered both a men’s and women’s team, and both teams enjoyed several memorable moments over the summer, with various personal bests, many first time members, and over 30 registered athletes in track competition, including school students, past students, and many others.

Pleasingly, our men’s team secured the Open Men’s Division 3 premiership in the South-East Region. We then progressed to the Shield final, where we managed a very promising third place, competing against the other venue premiers from across the State.

After four events this winter season, including the first two point scorers, our men’s team has managed to take the points at both the Jamieson (Scotch) and Williamson (Haileybury) events. Xavier and Scotch are pressing hard though, and we have our work cut out for us if we are to wrest the title back. Our women’s team continues to grow, and we are second only to Xavier. We would love to take an event win this season, and we believe we have the team to do it.

Come and join us. All abilities are welcome and catered for with open events, handicap events and relays.

You’ll love it! Get in touch!

Sincock Cup

Ken Phillips Day

We ventured to the Hume and Hovell Cricket Ground in Strath Creek, courtesy of Don and Anne McQueen.

On a magnificent day for cricket the brute strength of the Old Haileyburians out-played the raw skill of the Haileybury team, winning by five wickets.

Matt Stein (OH ’91) was the star for the victors.

The Ken Phillips Day event was held early in the season this year to provide valuable pre season match practice for our School and OHA teams. In 2011 the event featured nine sports. The OHA took out Boys Soccer and Cross Country whilst the School won Boys and Girls Hockey, Football, Netball, Girls Soccer and Boys and Girls Basketball.

Class of 1981 Reunion

The Boarders returned to Castlefield on a balmy Saturday afternoon in time to see some excellent cricket played on the Clark Oval. It was great to see a strong turnout of Boarders from a variety of year levels and this event will continue to play a part on the OHA calendar every two years.

A fun night was held at Keysborough on Friday, 6 May. This was a terrific year, highlighted by Haileybury’s first ever APS Athletic Premiership. Shane Grey travelled from Sydney especially for the event and we are indebted to those who made the effort to turn up and reminisce about old times.

OHA Winter Luncheon

It was clear that memories had not been lost at this great event in February. It was great to see, in particular, Roger and Shirley Brideson from Sydney and Ian and Vivienne Dunkley from Lakes Entrance who were just two of the couples that were able to make the event. These Old Haileyburians are now “qualified” with membership of the Brian “Weary” Clark Club. This Club, now into its second year, recognises Old Haileyburians who have been members for 50 or more years.

Our guest speaker for this annual luncheon was Paul Ronalds (OH ’89). Paul is the First Assistant Secretary in the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet and provides advice on matters of social policy to the Prime Minister. An outstanding afternoon was had by all in attendance at the RACV Club.

There is no charge to advertise a position via this medium. Further information can be obtained by contacting Russell Davidson on 9213 2218.

If you haven’t heard about OldHAT by now you need to move out from the rock you’ve been living under because what this organisation has done is a clear milestone in the history of the OHA. OldHAT (Old Haileyburian Association Theatre) is an amateur theatre company put together by graduated students over the past few years who share a love of the performing arts but have chosen paths which do not involve drama or theatre. Despite this, the quality and professionalism of the production put forward by this group has been outstanding.

In December 2010, the group performed The Importance of being Earnest which, against the sceptisism and the doubt of many people, put on a stellar performance, surprising all about the quality, professionalism and the overall entertainment that came out of the production which almost sold out both nights. The group has now set a high standard for its future performances.

Obviously the group has worked hard in order to put something like this together and it is clear that it wasn’t easy. Obtaining actors, technical crew and management as well as organising the rehearsals, the performing space, funding, sets and costumes etc, meant they had their work cut out for them.

STEPHEN SPARGO (OH’69) Congratulations to Stephen on his elevation to the Vice Presidency of the Melbourne Cricket Club.

SCOTT BOOTHEY (OH ’92)

After all this, the group is back on their feet and eager to continue providing quality performances.

The group has been put together, not just for entertainment, but also for the graduates and for students who want to be a part of productions while progressing through their studies and careers and give them something to look forward to. In addition, OldHAT is committed to giving something back to the School. The plan for the group is to put on productions that aid students in their study of English texts as well as contributing to scholarships for future students.

REBECCA HIBBERT (OH 2007)

Old Haileyburian Rebecca had the opportunity of a lifetime recently when she pursued her dream of nursing in Kenya. She tells her story to the Haileyburian.

In November 2010 I left on a plane to Africa. As I sat in my chair I held tight to my money belt and kept a close eye on my hand luggage. I had been convinced by so many people who warned against the dangers of Kenya and traveling alone as a young, white female. Upon returning home I threw my luggage overhead and slept the whole way.

I was now a local.

I completed my nursing degree at Monash University last year. Fundraising for a trip to Kenya began at the beginning of my final year. I worked as a nurse in the local village of Mutumbu. A tiny “hospital” had been set up by three Kenyan doctors and they welcomed me to work in their practice. I was very soon able to conduct blood tests for malaria, tuberculosis and HIV; I learned to stitch after being handed a suture needle and shown to my patient (thank you Youtube and my interest in stitching during final year).

I also learned to consult in the native tongue: Da Luo. While at the hospital I saw so many things that have coloured the way I will practice and the way I will treat my future patients.

A woman came to see me after a rabid dog bit through her calf muscle. I was able to pay for and administer her treatment over a couple of weeks. I dressed burns to 18% of a seven year old girl’s body with sterile water, gauze and some silver cream. While these items are basic, they proved effective over the three weeks that we saw her as she never sustained an infection and healed quickly.

Eight medical camps were also run during my stay. Medical camps are set up by Australian volunteers for around $1000AUD each. This money buys enough drugs, doctors and equipment to treat 350-400 people in one day. I was the camp’s nurse and administered any injectable or IV drugs which were required and treated wounds.

The medical camps were one of the most rewarding things I did in Kenya.

I am now completing a graduate year at the Royal Children’s Hospital on the neurology ward. I hope to go to medical school at Monash once I finish and become a paediatrician. The plan is then to travel all over the world where access to healthcare is poor and offer my skills. People say that Africa gets under your skin and into your blood and once you have been you will forever continue to return. How true.
