Haileybury Rendall School is proud of being recognised as a Centre for Excellence in Indigenous Education. Approximately 15% of students at the School are from Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds. In 2021 there were over 70 boarders living at the School. The majority of these students were Indigenous and come from remote or very remote communities. The boarding population comprises approximately 10% of the school population, meaning that 90% of students are day students from the Darwin region.

Haileybury Rendall School is proud of its affiliation with Haileybury Melbourne where there are four different campuses and over 4,500 students. Haileybury also operates a campus in China. There are strong connections between staff and students from Darwin to Melbourne. In 2021, several staff were seconded to Darwin from Haileybury Melbourne. The Schools share a common curriculum, which is partly why Haileybury Rendall School is the only Northern Territory School that runs the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) through Years 10–12.

Haileybury Rendall School supports the broad Haileybury aspiration of ‘being a great world school’ whilst having an immediate vision of being the best school in Northern Australia.
