Reflecting on a year of achievements at Haileybury Rendall School
As we approach the Christmas holidays and the close of 2024, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the remarkable achievements and milestones of the past year. Joining Haileybury Rendall School this year, I have been deeply inspired by how strongly the philosophy of “every student matters every day” is embedded in our community. It has been both an honour and a privilege to witness and contribute to this ethos in action.
This year has been busy and rewarding, filled with countless events, enthusiastic student participation, and impressive fundraising efforts. Congratulations to Djarrak House for claiming the House Competition title—a well-deserved victory that showcased their commitment, teamwork, and determination. The Senior School Academic Awards Assembly also celebrated the hard work and achievements of students, highlighting their dedication to success throughout 2024.
Special recognition goes to Year 11 students, Stephanie and Charlotte, for their exceptional contributions to the Youth Peak Voice Group. Their initiative, Postcards to the Commissioner, engaged 196 Senior School students to share their perspectives, influencing the NT Children’s Commissioner’s work in 2025. Elle Jackson, Community Engagement Officer, commended their efforts as “incredible work” that empowers young people to have a voice.
Congratulations are also in order for Oliver (Year 11) on his appointment as Ambassador for Northern Territory Youth Week 2025. This prestigious role will allow Oliver to play a key part in organizing events and encouraging youth involvement—an outstanding achievement that reflects his leadership and passion.
As we bid farewell to the Class of 2024, we send our best wishes for their upcoming VCE results and look forward to seeing the exciting paths they will take in their next chapters.
