Haileybury, Keysborough

I moved to Melbourne from Shanghai 6 years ago. My oldest son entered Haileybury in grade 7 in 2020. Since he is a very introverted child, he was very uncomfortable in the first semester, complaining that there was too much homework, no friend, and some course's teachers were too boring. But two years later, he is now in grade 9. He likes this school more and more. He has a lot of friends and his behavior and score have improved a lot. This year he took the advanced grade-10 course in mathematics. My second son also started Year 7 at this school this year(2022). With the help of his brother, he gets used to the life in middle school faster. Haileybury is not perfect but I believe that it is my best choice.

very rude staff. went to the campus on a Sunday， been treated by the staff there like a thief. The campus door is open and there is no warning sign there. Should the school put some sign there or simply lock the door before treating visitors like thieves?

Haileybury provides an un-shakable logical foundation for its students that universities exist to de-con-struct ...

My children LOVE this school (one in grade four and another in early learning). From the teachers to the students to the challenging curriculum, Haileybury integrates compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and Lessons. School also have lower student to teacher ratio, giving children more confidence when asking questions, engage in group activities, and opportunities for one-on-one time with the teachers.Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within our children-their good behaviours and achievements; and they know the importance of getting the parents involved should an issue arise, and do it in a very respectful, approachable manner. Highly recommended.

Had a short working experience at the school and found the culture, its staff and general work ethic to be rotten to the core. The school is nothing more than a cash cow for naive parents who believe more money will create a better future for their child. At the end of the day, no amount of money will replace proper parenting and parents that believe that their children are getting some sort of advantage in life by attending such an expensive school are COMPLETELY deluded. You are paying $25k+ a year for gimmicky technology, expensive sporting grounds and lavish events that do nothing but create a false sense of reality and ultimately a breeding ground for spoiled, misinformed robots who will have NO idea to how to function in everyday society once they are shoved out the front gates of the school.

Haileybury is not a school, it's a business. The principal and the school care only about their reputation and ranking by focusing only on getting the best Naplan scores. They start Naplan 'programing' from as early as year 1. They ask students who are below average to sit out, as their scores would affect the school's overall mark. They head hunt and offer scholarships to students in areas that they are lacking to improve their scores. They tell one parent they don't match scholarships but match scholarships for another. They lead you to believe there is a long wait list but don't be fool, there isn't. They hand out academic awards at the end of the year, supposedly based on marks but in fact its based on teacher's preference. They have difficulties admitting they are wrong even when proven so. Their curriculum has been created in such a way that any teacher who comes in can deliver it regardless of experience. So, to those who think the teachers there are great, they are not. Rather, they are pretentious and are programmed to teach a ridgid curriculum. They sell this program to other schools. Haileybury doesn't care about your child. Your child is just a number to them. Your child is replacable. Your money is going towards developing more Haieybury schools abroad. This school has no dignity or basic morals. Don't waste your money.

In science my children learned how to make blue crystals, the science teacher, Mr Walter White, taught them a lot of things. The principal, Mr Gustavo Fring, is a good and kind man. This is an image of the science teacher. My kids say that canteen lunch is very delicious, especially the chicken nuggets. Wonderful school.

Great school, great students, great teachers! Great integration of IT in the education process, but didn't see much use of the tangible educational resources (like books and the library). One more thing, Haileybury has a great set of traditions, but didn't really see them pop out! But anyway, great school!

THIS SCHOOL IS AN ABSALUTE ABOMINATION. After spending 3 years at the schools early learning centre, my 8 year old son was requested to leave" after coming out as a cyborg attack helicopter. This is the utmost transphobic thing I would expect from a privileged filled school like Haileybury College"

Full of bullies. Bullying starts from day one. Parents are rich but not educated. Parents choose the friends of their children. Parents decide who they want their child to talk to when the child is only in prep. Full of Racism and Parents ganging. Parents should be the one to go to that school and be educated. Useless and depressing. Waste of time and money.
