Haileybury Parents & Friends City (HPF City)
Celebrating with our Annual HPF City
Rooftop drinks are back! Held atop the beautiful City Campus, 170 parents, guardians and friends were able to engage and reconnect for the first evening event of 2022.
We were honoured to have CEO | Principal, Derek Scott, Vice Principal Community Engagement and Advancement, Scott Doran, and Diane Furusho, Deputy Principal Respectful Relationships and Consent, in attendance.
Derek gave words of encouragement, wisdom and positivity for our students and community and highlighted the value of a great education. However, the speech that stole our hearts was that of our Year 10 student, Faith Mapalo Kauseni, who shared her personal journey of being able to attend Haileybury thanks to the Haileybury Foundation Staff Giving Scholarship. Faith reminds us of the extraordinary opportunity that Haileybury provides our children and the lifelong changes this makes.
HPF City has a long-term fundraising goal to provide a scholarship to support a student like Faith. We appreciate this may take time but, with our community’s support, we feel this is an admirable aim. If you would like further information, please get in touch.
Our next event is the Cocktail Party on Thursday, 26 May. Pop the date in your diaries and join the fun. Details will be available on the myHaileybury app soon.
For the remainder of this term, individual year levels may hold their own social functions. Please get in touch with your year level Social Rep to find out what’s happening.
We also look forward to our end of term raffle and Easter Egg Guessing Competition, which provides great excitement for the littlest to biggest Haileyburians—especially those with a sweet tooth! This term, all proceeds raised will benefit the Royal Children’s Hospital.
If you would like to be in touch, please reach out to us at hpfcity@haileybury.vic.edu.au. We welcome your feedback and contributions.
Have a wonderful fortnight ahead!
