Mathematics Pi Day
Recently, the Senior School Mathematics Department organised a Pi Day. In the morning, mathematics teachers secretly concealed pies throughout the School with interesting problems attached to them.
Students found the pies and ate them, and correctly answered the maths problems to win Pi Day bracelets. Later that afternoon, students and staff celebrated Pi Day with short videos, quizzes, drinks and food.
Junior School garden project
It has been an exciting month for our Primary School garden project with students successfully planting a variety of seeds in our greenhouse beds. In addition to producing fresh vegetables, students have fixed the greenhouses to provide a perfect environment for our plants to grow and thrive.
The Primary School students have been involved in every step of this project, from researching different plants and their needs, to learning how to properly care for them. Through hands-on experience, they have gained valuable knowledge about the science of plants and the importance of sustainable agriculture.

She attended workshops on the latest courses within the different university departments, received updates on admission procedures, discussed future internship programs and toured university facilities and halls of residence.
Jacqueline was also able to spend a day at our Haileybury City and Keysborough campuses as a special guest. She met staff and student leaders, attended Assembly and spent valuable time with Senior School Careers staff.
Senior School Basketball competition
After a long absence of sport competitions due to pandemic restrictions, it was exciting to see our Haileybury Boys Senior Basketball Team participate in the recent Beijing International School Invitational Tournament.
The boys showed strength and courage to win all their group games and finished on top of their ladder. However, more pleasing was that the team was recognised by opponents for their spirit of friendship. Congratulations to the coaches and support staff.
