2020 SCHOLARSHIPS
Wednesday, 29 January, was an incredibly exciting day for five new students who commenced their journeys at Haileybury. Each one of these students was awarded a Haileybury Foundation Scholarships after a rigorous selection process conducted by individual donors and members of the Haileybury Foundation Board. We look forward to tracking their progress as they continue their journeys. All have made a wonderful start.
HANNAH CHARD – CLASS OF 1988 SCHOLARSHIP In 2020 Hannah commenced Year 7 at Haileybury City, thanks to the generosity of members of the Class of 1988. She has immediately made an impression at City through her willingness to become involved in a variety of extra-curricular activities. Hannah has involved herself in Debating, High Intensity Interval Training, and has enrolled in the Compass Award. Outside of school, Hannah enjoys fundraising for charities. She has identified Wheelchairs for Kids with Cerebral Palsy as one organisation she loves to support. She also enjoys dance, calisthenics and reading about the history of World War II. Hannah is extraordinarily excited to have been selected in the Dance Jazz team for her summer sport. Hannah comments that “Haileybury has been amazing and my year has started off wonderfully. It has been an incredible start to 2020. I have enjoyed every day of school and all the wonderful opportunities there are to take advantage of. The teachers are so enthusiastic and always go out of their way to help you and find ways to engage with you.”

Annual Report on Giving
VINITH IMAYAVASAN – DOUGLAS TRAVIS (’74) SCHOLARSHIP Vinith has been fortunate to have been gifted a scholarship at Haileybury supported by Old Haileyburian and former AMA President, Dr Douglas Travis. Vinith commenced his Year 9 studies at Berwick this year. Vinith has made a terrific start to Year 9. He notes that “the teachers and students that I have come across during my start at Haileybury across all campuses have made me feel like I belonged there and that I had a role in this vast community.” Douglas is passionate about the opportunity he was provided at Haileybury and comments that “I have seen many patients who could have carved a brilliant career, but the inability to afford an education at a leading private school denied them the opportunity to nurture and grow their brilliance into something that could transform ordinary into greatness. These experiences have humbled me and made me realise I could make a difference to a gifted and talented student and assist in providing them a Haileybury education so they can go on to be a brilliant mind and change the ordinary into the extraordinary. I am proud to support the Haileybury Foundation and look forward to seeing its students achieve great heights made possible by the contribution of those of us who were privileged to have a Haileybury education.”
