Haileybury, Keysborough

"when a kid does something that will damage the school's reputation, the school's first priority will be to hide it, not solve it. all the school's ads out there are all very exaggerated, while on the inside its just the same as any other usual school. shouldn't be here."

"The school seemed to have many problems with equipment fires in back of class but the hailbury 1st hockey keeper was top great person all round only reason I would ever go there"

"Haileybury is not a school, it's a business. The principal and the school care only about their reputation and ranking by focusing only on getting the best Naplan scores. They start Naplan 'programing' from as early as year 1. They ask students who are below average to sit out, as their scores would affect the school's overall mark. They head hunt and offer scholarships to students in areas that they are lacking to improve their scores. They tell one parent they don't match scholarships but match scholarships for another. They lead you to believe there is a long wait list but don't be fool, there isn't. They hand out academic awards at the end of the year, supposedly based on marks but in fact its based on teacher's preference. They have difficulties admitting they are wrong even when proven so. Their curriculum has been created in such a way that any teacher who comes in can deliver it regardless of experience. So, to those who think the teachers there are great, they are not. Rather, they are pretentious and are programmed to teach a ridgid curriculum. They sell this program to other schools. Haileybury doesn't care about your child. Your child is just a number to them. Your child is replacable. Your money is going towards developing more Haieybury schools abroad. This school has no dignity or basic morals. Don't waste your money."

"In science my children learned how to make blue crystals, the science teacher, Mr Walter White, taught them a lot of things. The principal, Mr Gustavo Fring, is a good and kind man. This is an image of the science teacher. My kids say that canteen lunch is very delicious, especially the chicken nuggets. Wonderful school."

"My children LOVE this school (one in grade four and another in early learning). From the teachers to the students to the challenging curriculum, Haileybury integrates compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and Lessons. School also have lower student to teacher ratio, giving children more confidence when asking questions, engage in group activities, and opportunities for one-on-one time with the teachers. Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within our children-their good behaviours and achievements; and they know the importance of getting the parents involved should an issue arise, and do it in a very respectful, approachable manner. Highly recommended."
