Welcome

Haileyburiana is a miscellany of things I got up to as President of the Haileybury Society in 2010 - 2011 and random musings on things to do with Haileybury. Whether you are an OH, a current pupil or parent, a teacher or other friend of the school I hope you will find something interesting here. The blog is no longer regularly updated, but there may still be occasional posts.

Tartan

The girls' uniform comprises (for girls below the VIth) a tartan kilt. It is worn in both England and Kazakhstan. But there is also a Haileybury Tartan in Altera Terra. The Scottish Register of Tartans website explains:

The Haileybury tartan was designed to recognise the existence of Haileybury Pipes and Drums within Haileybury College, Melbourne, Australia, for some 53 years. It also acknowledges Haileybury Pipes and Drums as Victorian Champions for 25 consecutive years in 2008. It marks the unification of Haileybury College and Haileybury Girls College bands, which warranted a new, unique design that reflected the school colours.

    2nd May was of course St George's day this year.

    Ascension Day always used to be a holiday at Haileybury, when boys often went off on their bicycles for the day. The last time it was observed was 1963. The new Master, William Stewart, abolished it.
