A magnificent evening with Academy winner Adam Elliot
Over 120 alumni, guests and film enthusiasts attended an exclusive private screening of Memoir of a Snail with Academy Award® winning animation writer and director, Adam Elliot (OH 1989).
Following the screening, attendees were treated to an intimate and engaging Q&A with Adam, when he generously shared fascinating insights into the creative journey behind this remarkable film. It is a cinematic gem you won’t want to miss.
Celebrating community: HRS Melbourne Alumni and Staff Reconnect
The Haileybury Rendall School (HRS) Melbourne dinner, held at The Bank on Collins, was a memorable evening filled with warmth and connection. HRS alumni and staff, including Craig and Kerry Glass and Janeanne Lee, came together to share stories, celebrate friendships and rekindle the strong bonds that make the HRS community so special.
No matter which campus of Haileybury you attended or where in the world you live, the OHA is always here to support you.
Celebrating a decade of memories
Nearly 100 members of the Class of 2015 enjoyed a fabulous night celebrating their 10-year reunion at Valhalla. We thank them for staying connected with the OHA, and more importantly, with each other.
OHA City Generations Breakfast
We were delighted to celebrate with our City campus OHA Generational families earlier this month. Thank you for joining us at this special breakfast to honour your shared connection to Haileybury. A special thanks also to Haileybury’s incredibly talented String Quartet for providing such beautiful music.
We look forward to hosting the final OHA Generations Breakfast for 2025 at the Keysborough campus during OHA Week on Wednesday, 27 August.
