The Master has to give six speeches on the Induction Day as he speaks to new pupils entering the Lower School, the Removes and the VIth, and separately, to their parents. It was like Speech Day in another respect as well - it poured with rain in the afternoon. Having one to join LS and one to go into the Removes we were flitting from one end of the school to the other. (Though we only went to one of the speeches!)

In the speech we heard, the Master spoke of how the new pupils may well find themselves forging life long friendships and associations. The day is largely put together by the Haileybury Parents Association, whose reps put in a vast amount of work; but the Haileybury Society's role is to help to foster those life long links for those who have moved on.
