It has offered me the chance to connect with like-minded individuals and collaborate on initiatives that foster a sense of community and help alumni stay engaged. I’ve had the privilege of contributing to thought-provoking discussions and working toward meaningful change. Through this role, I’ve developed invaluable leadership skills and a profound understanding of how to make a lasting impact. I’m truly honoured to be part of such a dedicated and passionate team. As a teacher at Haileybury, I can wholeheartedly attest to the fact that it’s an exceptional environment to work in, and we are fortunate to be part of such a remarkable alumni network.

Recently Haileybury Foundation was honoured to host Benefactor Week - a heartfelt series of morning tea events with our Haileybury Foundation scholarship recipients and their generous donors. Guests gathered to connect with the students whose lives they are helping to transform through the gift of education. Over delicious treats, stories were shared, and connections were formed. Thank you to all our donors for changing lives forever.

📅 Deadline: 5.00pm, Thursday 11 June

Hear from two current Councillors:

💬 William McCue (OH 2024)
Since joining the OHA council a year ago, I’ve been able to learn and grow not just in my capabilities as a council member, whether that be connecting with various alumni, brainstorming future plans and ideas, or contributing to team decisions, but I have also been able to feel what being in a successful business looks like.

Being part of meetings and having separate or joint portfolios to work on have allowed me to understand the behind-the-scenes work that makes the OHA the community it is today. This position is extremely gratifying to me as I can connect with people that I might not have ever been able to after graduating.

This is of huge importance to me because since graduating from the Rendall campus in Darwin and then moving to Canberra, I don’t always have the opportunity to see the people who helped me so much, but this council helps break that barrier for me. However, the best part about being a council member is knowing that the work I do will positively affect not only current OHA members, but also the future Haileybury alumni who need the support and community this organisation provides.

💬 Shankar Pillai (OH 2006)
Being a member of the OHA Council has been a rewarding and enriching experience. As a council member, I’ve had the opportunity to stay connected with fellow Haileyburians, support networking initiatives, and help work towards building a stronger bridge between past students. It’s been fulfilling to contribute to events and projects that help give back while also looking ahead to the future. Through this role, I’ve deepened my sense of community and developed lasting relationships with alumni across generations.

Today, we celebrated the OHA Generations Breakfast at the Haileybury Brighton campus. It was wonderful to see grandparents, parents, students and staff come together to celebrate their shared connection and history with Haileybury. Families enjoyed a delicious breakfast, personalised family photo cookies, and beautiful performances by our talented String Quartet.

Visit our website and click on ‘Event Gallery’ to view more photos from the morning.

We look forward to welcoming families to the next OHA Generations Breakfast at the City campus on Wednesday, 29 July 2026.

🎙️ Welcome to Haileybury Voices, the official podcast of the Old Haileyburian Association, where we go Beyond the Blazer.

In this episode, we welcome one of Australia’s most recognisable sporting voices, Bruce Eva (OH 1985). From his early days at The Herald to becoming a trusted voice on 3AW, Bruce has built a remarkable career in journalism, broadcasting, and sport. Bruce reflects on his time at Haileybury, the lessons that shaped him, and the journey to finding his voice in one of the most competitive industries in the country.

He shares stories from nearly four decades in media, the changing landscape of journalism, and what it takes to stay credible, relevant, and resilient under pressure. A fascinating conversation filled with insight, humour, and hard-earned wisdom.
