Haileybury Rendall School | Statutory Report 2022

Acknowledgement of Country

The community of Haileybury Rendall School acknowledges and pays respect to the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which it is based, the Larrakia People, and pays respect to the Elders – past, present and future.

Haileybury Rendall School is an independent co-educational School located in Darwin in the Northern Territory. Enrolment numbers during 2022 remained constant at around 940 students. The School includes:

> an Early Learning Centre of around 44 students,

> a Junior School with two classes at each level from Transition to Year 6,

> a Middle School with an average cohort size of 110 students from Years 7–9, and

> a Senior School that is growing in size of approximately 150 students from Years 10–12.

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 2022 there were over 80 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 five different campuses and over 4,800 students. Haileybury also operates a campus in China. There are strong connections between staff and students from Darwin to Melbourne. Several staff in 2022 had been 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) 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.

About Haileybury Rendall School

Principal’s introduction

In 2022, Haileybury Rendall School (HRS) completed its fifth year of operation and made significant progress. Enrolments at HRS have continued to grow steadily with the School starting the year with 940 students including over 85 boarders. This was a significant increase on the previous years’ enrolment. The growth in enrolments was predominantly in the Junior School with a third Year 6 stream for the first time, and in the Senior School as student numbers push through the School.

The key goals of the School are to further academic excellence, develop student wellbeing at all year levels, and staff development and opportunity remained a high priority. We continued to enhance our standing as a recognised Centre for Excellence in Indigenous Education. It was wonderful that 10 Indigenous students completed their Year 12 education at HRS which was a strong endorsement of our retention rates and contribution to ‘closing the gap’.

A further growth in academic results was shown in ACER PAT testing and NAPLAN 2022 online testing. It was great to see an improvement in 17 out of 20 NAPLAN measures from 2021 to 2022. HRS was recognised as the top-performing NAPLAN primary school in the Northern Territory for the second consecutive year. Our Indigenous students from remote communities showed steep academic growth in numeracy and literacy from Years 7–12 with some students completing over two years growth within the year in aspects of their learning.

There were good VCE results and ATAR scores and this continued a trend of strong results across the last 3 years that have seen 16% of our students achieve ATARs over 95, 23% of our students achieve ATARs over 90, 34% of our students achieve ATARs over 85 and 42% of our students achieve ATARs over 80. These results were a strong endorsement of the academic culture in the School, the work ethic of the students and the dedication and quality of our teachers.

Haileybury Rendall School continues to establish its reputation in Darwin as it seeks to be regarded as the best school in Northern Australia. The local community has endorsed our progress with a rapid increase in enrolments that supports our goals and aspirations. The School is determined to continue to develop, improve and provide a world-class education for students in and out of the classroom. At HRS, every student and every team member matters every day.
