Community Giving

Haileybury 130 Year Heritage football jumper

Haileybury Foundation is indebted to our community groups for their support and belief in the work of the Foundation. Community is at the very heart of Haileybury and we are incredibly fortunate to be represented by myriad diverse community groups, all working towards a common goal of ensuring that our students have the best possible opportunity to succeed.

The generosity of Haileybury Parents and Friends of Keysborough (HPFK) and

Haileybury Parents and Friends of Castlefield (HPFC) has seen transformational gifts made to

Haileybury Foundation, enabling three students to benefit from a Haileybury education. Both organisations do an incredible amount of work behind the scenes and we are grateful that some of the fruits of their labour have been directed to the Foundation, enabling students to benefit from an incredible educational experience.

During the course of 2021, former members of Haileybury’s 1st Cricket XI and First 1st XVIII had the opportunity to purchase a Heritage numbered cap and football jumper respectively. Proceeds from the purchase of the caps and jumpers was directed to the Haileybury Scholarship Fund.

Such was the popularity of each item that funds raised from each, along with support from the School and cricket support group, The Hazlitt Club, enabled the addition of two further scholarships for the Foundation. In 2022 we have commenced the Charles Langtree Scholarship, named after Haileybury’s first ever VFL/AFL footballer and in 2023 we will launch the Gerry Hazlitt Scholarship. This scholarship, named after Haileybury’s first ever test cricketer, will be provided to a boy or girl who would not ordinarily be able to attend Haileybury and who has an interest in cricket.

Haileybury’s alumni are extraordinarily proud of their School and committed to giving back. Nothing shows this more than the positivity shown through Haileybury Foundation’s Class Giving program. In 2022, four groups (Classes of 1982, 1984, 1988 and 2020) will take part in this initiative, coming together as proud Old Haileyburians to give back to the School that gave so much to them. Beneficiaries of Haileybury’s Class Giving scholarships will have their life changed forever. Later in this edition, you will read about the experiences of Caden Ong (OH 2021) who was the beneficiary of the Class of 2007/ Melbourne Foundation scholarship, the first of its kind for our Foundation.
