Education is not static. Education evolves with every term, every lesson, and every experience. As we welcome the Spring Term at St Martin’s, we reflect on the pivotal role schools play in shaping not just academic success but the character and resilience of our children. This term, we continue to focus on preparing our boys for an ever-changing world by balancing rigorous academic standards with holistic development. From fostering critical thinking to encouraging exploration in our outdoor spaces, education at St Martin’s goes beyond textbooks. It’s about cultivating curiosity, empathy, and confidence that will serve our boys well throughout life. The work behind the scenes by our dedicated staff - support staff, grounds, teachers, the entire community - ensuring the pitches are ready, classrooms refreshed, and facilities optimised — underscores our belief that every environment is a learning environment. As we embark on this term, we ask ourselves: Are we preparing our boys not just to succeed but to lead? Are they equipped not only with knowledge but with the ability to navigate a complex world with empathy and integrity? At St Martin’s, we are committed to ensuring the answer is yes. This term is another step forward in that journey. #StMartinsSchool #BetterPrepared #SpringTerm2025 #ShapingFutureLeaders #ExcellenceInEducation #ConfidenceAndCuriosity

I recently wrote a blog for our parents highlighting the need to really think about the choices we are making for our children. Breaking Free from Academic Pressure: Rethinking Educational Choices to develop the Whole Child to Thrive. As we navigate our children's education, the choices we make about schools can have a lasting impact on their development and future success. In a society that often equates academic achievement with value, many parents find themselves gravitating toward institutions that prioritise grades, standardised tests, and performance metrics. However, it’s time to pause and reflect: Isn’t society placing too much emphasis on academic pressure at the potential expense of our children’s holistic development? Read more on the below link…

At Living Science, learning goes beyond academic excellence—and nothing exemplifies this better than our Middle School Expedition! This unique event blends hands-on learning, adventure, and unforgettable memories, all in an environment that fosters academic, personal, and spiritual growth.   Every year, our middle school students embark on a journey to St. Simon’s Island that challenges them both academically and personally. This 5-day expedition is designed to immerse students in the wonders of science and nature, providing real-world applications of what they’ve learned in the classroom. From exploring diverse ecosystems to conducting field experiments, students are not just passive learners—they’re active participants in their education.   What truly sets the Middle School Expedition apart is how it weaves together academic rigor and spiritual growth. Students are presented with the Gospel and are encouraged to grow in their faith. As they discover the beauty of the natural world, they also deepen their understanding of God’s creation and His plan for their lives. Many students even choose to be baptized in the ocean at Jekyll Island, marking a pivotal moment in their spiritual journey.   Our students return from this adventure not only with a greater knowledge of the natural world but also with a stronger sense of community and purpose. At Living Science, we’re committed to developing the whole student, guiding them toward excellence in all areas of life. This is how we go beyond academic excellence.   #DiscoverLivingScience #GoingBeyondAcademics #HandsOnLearning

A recent report by Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) highlighted concerning gaps in science education among Victorian students. For example,14% of Grade 6 students reported they’ve never had a science class—the highest rate in Australia. Compounding these challenges is the ongoing shortage of qualified science teachers, with dozens of positions currently unfilled across the state. Haileybury is passionate about access to a high quality education for all students across the disciplines; this belief is the driving force behind Haileybury Pangea, our online school. This summer, in addition to our Numeracy and Literacy classes, our Summer School is running a Science intensive. This program offers: ✅ Focused learning opportunities on core scientific principles ✅ Hands-on activities to foster curiosity and engagement ✅ Guidance from Haileybury's brilliant educators equipped to inspire and challenge students With fewer classroom opportunities to explore science, initiatives like this intensive are vital to bridging the gap, empowering students to excel academically while cultivating critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for the future.
