Welcome back, Newlands!
Welcome back to the 2025 school year. I hope your holidays were filled with memorable moments spent with loved ones. A warm welcome also to our new students, families and staff joining the Newlands community. We are thrilled that you have chosen Haileybury.
This year we are proud to unveil our new Early Learning Centre (ELC) Reception classroom, along with the beautiful, purpose-built playground designed to inspire creativity and exploration for our youngest learners. In addition, our campus facilities have received significant upgrades, including enhancements to our Newlands Sports Hall. These additions and improvements reflect our commitment to fostering a nurturing environment where every student’s journey begins with excitement and curiosity.
In 2025 I encourage our wonderful families to actively participate in our Haileybury Parents & Friends Keysborough (HPFK) events. With a new executive this year, led by Amy Ching as President, the HPFK plays a vital role in building connections and enriching our school community. At numerous times throughout the year the HPFK will host opportunities to come together to connect, support, and celebrate the educational experience of all our students.
It is with excitement that I look forward to welcoming our students, families and staff back to Newlands for the 2025 academic year. Let us continue to pursue our approach to education at Newlands through the eyes of excellence, embracing opportunities with optimism and vigour.
This year is sure to be another remarkable year at Newlands.
