Haileybury

Over 530 Pre-Senior students have embraced every moment of their June Explore and Expedition trips, from new cultures and challenges to unforgettable shared experiences. These journeys are about more than travel; they build independence, resilience and lifelong connections.
As we welcome students home this week, we know families will be looking forward to hearing their stories and their own unique versions of these incredible experiences.

This week, we are shining a spotlight on Core Body Conditioning, an engaging activity available in our Senior School co-curricular program. It's all about enhancing fitness, building strength, and enjoying a supportive environment with friends.

Remy from Brighton shares, "I chose this activity because I love Pilates and wanted to enjoy Core Body Conditioning with my friends. It's such a fun and relaxing way to take a break in the middle of my week."

Henry from Brighton adds, "Core Body Conditioning is challenging yet enjoyable. It has helped me become stronger and more confident, and being with friends made it memorable. I encourage everyone to explore these options and push themselves."

Students appreciate the variety of exercises, the sense of accomplishment, and the camaraderie that comes from working out together. Core Body Conditioning offers a fantastic way to challenge yourself, build resilience, and discover new strengths.

The Haileybury Girls Firsts Basketball team took the court today at MSAC in a closely contested match against Penleigh and Essendon Grammar. 🏀⛹️‍♀️

PEGS were quick out of the blocks to take an early lead, but our girls continued to battle hard and started to make it count on the scoreboard. Despite a spirited second half effort, PEGS proved too strong in the end, coming away with the victory.

A great effort from all involved! 👏❤️

Congratulations to Year 6 students Zack (Brighton) and Tom (Berwick) who qualified for the SSV State Cross Country Championships.

We wish both boys every success at the upcoming state championships.

Recently, the Year 9 students studying Japanese were very excited to receive letters from their pen pals at Toyojoshi Senior High School in Tokyo, Japan. Corresponding with their pen pal offers students the chance to not only practice their language in a meaningful and authentic context, but also enables them to gain cultural insights and develop new friendships. Students travelling on the Senior Study Tour to Japan will visit Toyojoshi Senior High School in December this year.

The Haileybury Cross Country teams were in action today at Norton's Park on a challenging, hilly course. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Our athletes were impressive in their determination to push beyond their comfort zones and get the very best out of their performances. The Junior Boys and Inters performed strongly, finishing second and first respectively in their age groups.

In the Open Girls and Open Boys competitions, Caulfield claimed victory, with Haileybury securing a well earned second place in both divisions.

Thank you to all athletes, supporters and coaches for a fantastic morning of competition. 👏❤️

Year 7 Girls Middle School students at Castlefield (Brighton) came together for a wonderful morning of connection and belonging over hot chocolate, sharing conversations and spending time with friends.

These gatherings provide a great opportunity for students to come together to strengthen existing friendships and build new connections.

Moments like these help foster a supportive and inclusive community where every student feels welcomed, valued and connected.
