Haileybury is an independent school, located in Berwick, Brighton East and Keysborough, suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The school incorporates both Haileybury College, an all boys college and Haileybury Girls College, an all girls college. Haileybury's Keysborough Campus caters for students in Pre-Prep to Year 12, with its Brighton, Victoria and Berwick, Victoria campuses catering for students in Pre-Prep to Year 10. Tuition fees range from AUD$10,550 (Reception and Prep) to AUD$25,450 per annum (Year 9).[1] Haileybury maintains strong relations with schools in China, Japan and France, and currently delivers the VCE program to a number of schools in China. [citation needed]

The college is affiliated with the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference,[2] the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA),[3] the Association of Independent Schools of Victoria (AISV),[4] and has been a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS) since 1958.[5]

History

The school began with just 17 pupils on 10 February 1892 at Wellington on the corner of New Street and South Road, Brighton Beach.[citation needed]

The first headmaster, Mr C. H. Rendall, an old boy of Haileybury College, England,[citation needed] adapted the buildings and grounds of Wellington to educational purposes and undertook his chosen task of building in Australia an English public school with a distinctive tradition of classics and cricket.[citation needed]

In 2000 Haileybury admitted the first girls into the Junior School and plans were announced to develop parallel education for boys and girls from year 5 on all campuses.[citation needed] The following year saw the introduction of an innovative pre-senior program for boys in year 9, allowing the boys, who begin to lose interest in traditional studies to broaden their horizon and participate in a number of Options (10 day camps).[citation needed]

In 2006, The Age newspaper published stories regarding a campaign by Haileybury Girls College to offer scholarships to girls in schools across Melbourne in order to fill its 2007 classes in Years 10 to 12. Schools including Toorak College, Sacre Coeur, St. Margarets College, and Mac.Robertson Girls' High School had students leave to attend Haileybury College The campaign was criticised by these schools, with two Catholic girls' schools - Killester and Kilbreda Colleges - vowing to submit a formal complaint to the Uniting Church, with which the school is affiliated.[6] It has also been alleged that Haileybury has been "unethically" hiring teachers from other schools.[7]

Students and facilities

Students attending Haileybury College come from all over Melbourne with 98% of all students travelling on school buses to get to the Senior School.[8] The school has the largest bus network system of any school in Australia.[4] The majority of Haileybury students come from Brighton, East Brighton, Sandringham, Hampton, Beaumaris, Black Rock, Malvern, Mentone, Wheelers Hill, Berwick, Mount Eliza and Mornington. The College Senior School is located in Keysborough. The school has 8 ovals, tennis and hockey courts, an olympic-size swimming pool with diving facilities as well as other academic, sport and fitness facilities.[8]

Parallel Education

At Haileybury, the parallel education system provides education for boys and girls at the same school, and both genders are allowed to interact at any time with the exception of during class times, where only single gender classes exist. Parallel education at Haileybury incorporates two schools. Haileybury College is a school for boys, and Haileybury Girls College is a school for girls. Each school operates from the Early Learning Centre to Year 12.

How Parallel Education Works;

  • Girls and boys attend the same teaching precincts
  • Learning and activities are arranged to reflect the age and gender of the student and the nature of the activities
  • Students from the Early Learning Centre to Year 4 are educated in coeducational classes
  • Years 5 to 9 move to single gender schools at Berwick, Hampton and Keysborough (with separate Pre-Senior Centres)
  • The Three-year VCE is conducted predominantly with separate classes for girls and boys, with students coming together for classes when appropriate, such as music or drama, and social and cultural activities.

In all stages of schooling there is co-operation and interaction between Haileybury Girls College and Haileybury College, whenever this is appropriate and beneficial to the students.
