Haileybury is an Australian private school with campuses in Keysborough, Brighton East, Berwick, Melbourne's CBD, Darwin, Northern Territory and online campus, Haileybury Pangea. It also has an international campus in the Tianjin outer district of Wuqing, China. Middle School (Years 5-8) at Haileybury introduces parallel education where students are separated into single-gender classrooms for their academic studies and for Sport and Camping programs. Although learning in separate classes, boys and girls share the same campus and socialise in co-curricular activities together.[4] Haileybury has been described as the largest independent school in Australia.[5]
Haileybury maintains strong relationships with schools in Bangladesh, China, Japan, France, Sri Lanka, England, Indonesia and Timor-Leste. Haileybury delivers the VCE program to a number of schools in China and most recently has partnered with the Dili International School.
Haileybury has been endorsed as one of Australia’s best schools with multiple awards from the Australian Education Awards, including Australian School of the Year, Primary School of the Year, Principal of the Year, Best Student Wellbeing and Best Remote Learning. Haileybury has also been ranked as the number one co-educational primary school in Victoria and the number two secondary school, based on national testing results.[6]
Haileybury is associated with the following schools:
Charles Rendall, an old boy of Haileybury College,[8] Hertfordshire (1873) and graduate of Oxford University (1879), moved to Australia in 1882, becoming a teacher of Latin and Ancient Greek at Melbourne University, Melbourne Grammar, and later at Scotch College. In 1892, with five staff and 17 students, he opened a new Haileybury campus in Brighton East, Victoria. The school was based on the traditional English public school model with an emphasis on classical texts of Ancient Greece and Rome, and cricket.[9]
Louis Berthon joined Rendall's staff in 1894. Due to Rendall's continuing health problems, especially after 1906, Berthon was often in charge. Both men regarded a supportive staff/student relationship as paramount.[10]
In 1932 the third Headmaster, Sydney Dickinson, purchased what was then known as the 'Castlefield' Estate, in Hampton, Victoria, and from 1932 to 1939, Haileybury used both properties.[11]
Sholto Black became Headmaster in 1942, by which time 190 boys were enrolled at the School.[12]
Subsequently, David Bradshaw became the new Headmaster and continued the expansion of the school.[13] In 1958, Haileybury was invited to join the Associated Public Schools of Victoria. In 1961 the property 'Newlands' was purchased in Keysborough by the School Council, and from 1963 to 1968 the Senior School operated at both the Brighton and Keysborough campuses.[14]
Michael Aikman later took over from Bradshaw as Headmaster and continued to develop the Keysborough property.[15] During the 1970s the Preparatory School was built on the 'Newlands' site and was to run parallel with the Preparatory School 'Castlefield, Brighton' situated in Hampton. In 1985, land was purchased at Berwick to establish a third Preparatory School.[16]
Dr. Robert Pargetter took over as Principal in 1998.[17] He introduced to Haileybury the model of Parallel Education, a specialised Pre-Senior (Year 9) Program, a broadening of the curriculum, and the three-year VCE.[18]
Haileybury opened its first overseas campus outside of Beijing, China in 2013. In 2019, it opened its first interstate campus, located close to Darwin, Australia, named Haileybury Rendall School. Also in 2019, Haileybury was named Australian School of the Year at the Australian Education Awards.[19]
Rendall, an alumnus of Haileybury, England, obtained permission from his old school to use its name and badge. The colours he chose were magenta and black instead of the magenta and white of the parent school; and for the motto he chose 'Altera Terra' to signify the establishment of a new Haileybury 'in another land'.[citation needed]
In 1954, the school decided to couple the motto of Haileybury, England, 'Sursum Corda' ('Lift up your hearts') to the original 'Altera Terra'.[21]
The Brighton campus is commonly referred to as "Castlefield" and was established in 1932 as another component to the original campus on New Street, Brighton. The campus consists of an Early Learning Centre, Junior School, Girls Middle School, Boys Middle School and two Pre-Senior Centres. In 2007, the Senior School at Brighton opened.[citation needed]
The Keysborough campus was established in the 1960s and consists of "Newlands" and the Senior School.[citation needed]
"Newlands" has been open since the 1970s but has since undergone major refurbishments. The campus consists of an Early Learning Centre, Junior School, Girls Middle School, Boys Middle School and two Pre-Senior Centres. The Senior School was established in the 1960s and has undergone major redevelopments since the establishment of Haileybury Girls College in 2006.[citation needed]
The Keysborough campus houses the David Bradshaw Chapel, a concert hall called "Aikman Hall", a newly refurbished library, a lecture theatre, an arts precinct, and several sporting ovals, hockey fields, and tennis courts, as well as an Olympic size swimming pool with diving facilities.[citation needed]
The Berwick campus is commonly referred to as 'Edrington' and officially opened in 1989. The campus consists of an Early Learning Centre, Junior School, Girls Middle School, Boys Middle School and two Pre-Senior Centres. In 2007, the Senior School at Berwick officially opened. The main assembly hall was named 'John Twist Hall' after the school principal at the time.[citation needed]
The City campus was opened in 2016 and is the newest Haileybury campus in Victoria. It is located on King St, in Melbourne's Central Business District. The campus has been labelled as Melbourne's first vertical school, with the building consisting of ten stories with two terrace levels. The campus educates approximately 700 students from pre-school to Year 12. The first cohort of Year 12 students graduated from the campus in 2020.[citation needed]

Haileybury places an emphasis on social justice through their Community Responsibility Program. Each of Haileybury's campuses supports local and global charities, with approximately 40 charities benefitting from the program.[28] As part of their social justice program, Haileybury students seek to raise awareness about the not-for-profit organisations they support, and the work these organisations accomplish, as well as doing fundraising. Haileybury Berwick's Boys Middle School created a campaign in collaboration with Beyond Blue Youth to tackle the issues surrounding youth depression.[29] Haileybury has also implemented various initiatives to advocate for climate change amongst the student body.[28]
