Haileybury Foundation Thank You event

The recent Haileybury Foundation Thank You event was a resounding success, celebrating the generosity of donors and the transformative impact their support has on the lives of our 32 Haileybury Foundation Scholarship students. Held in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, the event brought together a remarkable gathering of donors, current and former beneficiaries of Haileybury Foundation scholarships, their families and senior Haileybury staff.

Guests were treated to an evening of delicious canapés and drinks while connecting with fellow members of the Haileybury community. The highlight of the evening was a series of heartfelt speeches delivered by current and past students who have directly benefitted from the generosity of Foundation supporters. Each speech was a powerful reminder of how these scholarships open doors to an exceptional education and life-changing opportunities.

The student speakers shared personal stories of how Haileybury’s educational experience has shaped their futures, highlighting the critical role that donors play in making these journeys possible. From enhanced academic pathways to co-curricular opportunities, the scholarships have left a lasting impression on their personal and professional growth.
