As we commence 2026, I am pleased to introduce the new members of our brilliant HRS School Executive Team, whose collective expertise, commitment and care will continue to shape the educational experience of our students and the strength of our community.
As we commence 2026, I am pleased to introduce the new members of our brilliant HRS School Executive Team, whose collective expertise, commitment and care will continue to shape the educational experience of our students and the strength of our community. Our Executive team is characterised by experienced and quality educators and the stability and longevity of this team will be enhanced by the freshness and enthusiasm of our new members. I am confident to say that HRS has the best School Executive Team in the Northern Territory.
Mr Tom Ziebell joins the Executive after relocating from Carey Grammar, Melbourne and the Carey Zero Project he established in far north Queensland. He takes up the role as Director of Boarding. Tom brings broad experience across multiple school settings and a strong commitment to student wellbeing, connection and personal growth within our boarding context. He is a calm and experienced leader who has made an early positive impact with staff, students and boarding families.
Also joining us from Carey Grammar Melbourne is Mrs Katherine Ziebell, our new Head of Middle School. Katherine is an experienced and highly regarded educator who is deeply focused on student engagement, inclusive practice and supporting young adolescents through this important stage of their learning journey. Katherine has already impressed students and staff alike with her articulate and insightful thoughts on thriving in adolescence. Importantly, she is also a passionate and talented English teacher.
Dr Susannah Ritchie, a long-term and admired staff member, finally has all her children at HRS and has become full-time! As such, she steps into the Executive as our Director of Coaching. This role represents an exciting expansion of her leadership that will assist all staff and students across our school. A passionate and accomplished English teacher, who is known to regularly help our students achieve their very best, Susannah is also a brilliant team player who is always interested in improving teaching and learning. She is perfectly suited to her new coaching role.
Mrs Emma McDonald, well known to many families through her previous role as Deputy Head of Junior School, has also been promoted to the Executive Team as Director of Advancement and Engagement. Emma’s deep understanding of our local community and her strong relational approach will be central to strengthening partnerships with families and stakeholders. Emma’s role will include oversight of International Relations, Marketing, Admissions, Music and Performing Arts and Community Engagement. Her energy and dynamism will serve us well.
Mr Marc Vegter joins the Executive, having moved to our Darwin campus after 18 years in a wide range of leadership roles across a number of Haileybury Melbourne campuses. Marc is a Maths teacher and data guru and his extensive analytical experience across the Haileybury network will be invaluable as he supports strategic initiatives and our digital evolution across the School. Marc will help us continue our journey to providing innovative data-informed practice in all that we do.
Mr Brendan Evans has been promoted into the new action-packed role as our first Director of Activities. While continuing to teach his beloved Humanities subjects, Brendan will bring together the ever-expanding suite of activities that happen outside the classroom. This includes sports, House activities, camps, outdoor education, trips and tours, after-school activities, clubs and much more. In recent years, with the increased student demand and strong teacher support, our offerings are extensive. One of Brendan’s jobs is to bring every element together to show us exactly what all these options are.
Mrs Emily Fryer has also been promoted to a new whole-school role as Director of Student Wellbeing, after several outstanding and fulfilling years as our Head of Indigenous Student Wellbeing. Emily will continue to support the Hub team but provide extensive and informed wellbeing support to boarding, and all Middle and Senior School students. She will work closely with the Deputy Principal (Wellbeing), Ms Wendy Pickering-Tyers.
At the heart of this leadership team’s work is a shared belief that every student matters every day and that every staff member matters every day.

The opening weeks of the school year are always filled with energy and purpose, and it has been a particularly vibrant start in the Middle School at HRS. These early days are about far more than timetables and textbooks; they are about connection, confidence and helping students feel that they belong in this community as they begin the year’s journey.
One of the highlights of the term has been the Beijing Study Tour, which provided a remarkable opportunity not only for those who travelled, but also for many of our Middle School students who stepped into the role of buddies and ambassadors for visiting students. They represented the school with maturity and generosity, forming friendships across cultures and demonstrating the quiet leadership that we value so highly at HRS.
Closer to home, we were delighted to welcome our Indigenous boarding students through a carefully planned orientation program. These first days are crucial in helping students feel settled, known and supported, and it has been heartening to see friendships already forming and confidence growing as they find their place within the life of the school.
Our Leadership Induction Assembly was another significant moment, made even more meaningful by the presence of parents who joined us to celebrate student achievement. The assembly was a reminder that leadership in Middle School is less about titles and more about influence, service and example qualities we see emerging across all year levels.
Opportunities for connection continued at the MS/SS Sundowner Information Evening, where families met tutors and teachers, shared conversations with one another, and strengthened the partnership between home and school that is so vital during adolescence.
We have also seen the power of peer connection through the Year 7 Connection Day, thoughtfully led by our Year 9 student leaders. Their care, humour and sense of responsibility helped ease the transition for our newest students, modelling the kind of inclusive culture we strive to build. It was a pleasure to watch older students step forward with such authenticity and pride in their roles.
On a personal note, I have felt very fortunate to begin my time at HRS within such a welcoming and engaged community. I have been struck by the openness of students, the dedication of staff and the genuine partnership offered by families. Schools are, at their heart, relational places, and it is clear that HRS understands the importance of knowing each child well and supporting them to grow both academically and personally.
As we move further into the term, our focus remains on building strong learning habits while ensuring every student feels supported to take on new challenges. Thank you for the trust you place in us and for the many ways you contribute to the life of the school. We look forward to the year ahead and to continuing this journey together.
Katherine Ziebell
Head of Middle School
Welcome to the 2026 school year, and a special welcome to our new Senior School students and families. We are delighted to have you join the Haileybury Rendall School community.
As we begin the year, our focus is on setting students up for success. Senior students are expected to lead by example in their uniform, conduct and work ethic. As role models within the School, they help shape a culture of high standards and mutual respect.
Our theme for 2026 is Connection – ensuring every student feels a strong sense of belonging to their peers, their House, and the wider HRS community. When students feel connected, they thrive both academically and personally.
In the first full week of term, our 2026 Prefects and School Leaders travelled to Melbourne to visit Haileybury’s City, Brighton and Berwick campuses. A highlight was attending the Founders Day Assembly, experiencing the formal processional and bagpipes. Most importantly, the trip strengthened the bonds between our leaders and reinforced their shared commitment to service.
Fundraising has already begun, with the Year 12 Valentine’s Day rose sale supporting charity. There are many opportunities for students to get involved, including the Eco Committee, debating, public speaking, House Singing, the Short Film Competition and the Year 10 Leadership Program. I encourage all students to participate, connect and contribute.
We look forward to a successful and inspiring year ahead.
Kylie Mobilia
Head of Senior School
After landing in Melbourne at 6am and flying all night, the 2026 prefect team was nothing if not overjoyed to dive head-first into Haileybury City’s Monday morning.
Stepping off the plane to a sharp 12°C chill was an unwelcome shock to many of us, especially coming from our monsoon season, but it made the city feel exciting and different. We spent our days at the Haileybury City campus with our buddies, which conveniently placed us within the lively buzz of the CBD.
On Tuesday, we travelled to Keysborough for the inaugural Founders Assembly, an impressive and polished event that highlighted the school’s long history and sense of tradition, complete with Pipes and Drums. Sam and I (Mia) were especially pleased to finally meet George and Izzy, our Melbourne counterparts, where our dinner plans finally escaped from the WhatsApp chat.
Afterwards, we spent time playing various sports with our buddies, ranging from Badminton to Aerobics. Freya, Jayda, Isla, Teniwah and Madi were lucky enough to join Mr. Cav’s touch football team (former HRS teacher) where we enjoyed talking to the Keysborough girls, with some fun drills on the side.
We were also fortunate enough to meet with Haileybury CEO Derek Scott, with whom we discussed leadership, social justice and plans for 2026.
Alongside our Haileybury immersion, we squeezed in shopping trips and were able to finesse three separate visits to Yo-Chi from Mr. Barker and Ms. Mobilia.
After a four-hour layover in Sydney on our journey home, where almost everyone returned with boxes of Krispy Kreme’s, we landed in Darwin tired, but grateful – carrying with us new perspectives and connections with our peers across Australia.
We can’t wait to welcome the Haileybury Melbourne team to Darwin when they make their way up later this year.

Year 12 Leaders
The Instrumental Music Program is off to a fantastic start for the year, with rehearsals, lessons and ensembles already filling our music spaces with energy and enthusiasm. It has been wonderful to see students reconnect with their instruments, welcome new members into our choirs and strings program, and set exciting goals for the months ahead.
At Haileybury Rendall School, our Instrumental Music Program provides students with the opportunity to develop technical skill, musical understanding and performance confidence in a supportive and inspiring environment. Tuition is available across a wide range of instruments, including strings, woodwind, brass, percussion, guitar, voice and piano. Students can participate in individual lessons as well as a variety of ensembles designed to foster teamwork, listening skills and a strong sense of community.
Ensemble rehearsals are now underway and students are already working towards performances later in the semester. Performing is an important part of the learning journey, giving students the chance to showcase their progress, build resilience and experience the joy of making music together.
Whether your child is a beginner eager to try an instrument for the first time, or an experienced musician looking to further refine their skills, there is a place for them in our program. Learning an instrument supports cognitive development, discipline, creativity and collaboration – skills that benefit students well beyond the music classroom.
We warmly welcome enquiries from families interested in joining the Instrumental Music Program. If you would like further information about lesson availability, instrument hire or ensemble participation, please contact the Music Department. We look forward to another vibrant and successful year of music-making together.

Haileyburys values strongly aligned with my own particularly around high expectations, opportunity and community. As a family we chose to enrol our four children at HRS because we believe in the quality of education and the holistic support the school provides. I was also extremely impressed with the work being done in student wellbeing, the impact of the Wellbeing team and programs like Clontarf and Stars. The school's genuine commitment to Indigenous Education through its Ochre program and Reconciliation Action Plan. That combination of excellence and care really drew me in.
My role is Indigenous Student Wellbeing Coordinator. I am most excited about joining an already well-established outstanding team in the Wellbeing Hub and am grateful for the opportunity to be taught and mentored by them, especially Emily Fryer who was formally in the position. I am excited to walk alongside our First Nations students supporting their wellbeing, strengthening their cultural identity and helping them thrive inside and outside the classroom. I'm passionate about helping to create a space where students feel seen, valued and proud of who they are. Being able to connect culture, education and wellbeing in a meaningful way is something I consider a privilege and I'm motivated every day by the growth and potential I see in our young people.
I was posted to Darwin in the Army in 2012 where I have served at both 8/12th Artillery Regiment as a Bombardier and 1st Combat Engineer Regiment as a Carpenter. The thing I love most about Darwin is the relaxed lifestyle and the ability to explore and create your own adventures on beautiful Larrakia country.
My favourite place to be is on or around the ocean. When the weather is good, I love to get out in the boat with my family, fishing, crabbing or enjoying a day at the beach or Cullen Bay sand bar. I also like getting a fresh juice and food at the markets to enjoy whilst taking our dogs for a run at Casuarina and Bundilla beach.
Some facts that people may not know about me is that I really like to stay connected with as many of my Torres Strait (Zenadth Kes) Islander cultural and traditional practices as possible. These include art, carving, cooking and gardening. Living away from my home in the Islands can sometimes be challenging so I find by doing this, is a way to maintain my identity and keep me grounded. I am also a qualified carpenter and like to renovate my own house and do jobs on the weekends when I'm not chasing after my four kids.
The thing I look forward to most is continuing to build strong foundational connections with the students to help and nurture their wellbeing through their journey at HRS. These connections are built on purposeful interactions, respect, empathy, resilience, integrity and trust.
As we commence 2026, I am pleased to introduce the new members of our brilliant HRS School Executive Team, whose collective expertise, commitment and care will continue to shape the educational experience of our students and the strength of our community. Our Executive team is characterised by experienced and quality educators and the stability and longevity of this team will be enhanced by the freshness and enthusiasm of our new members. I am confident to say that HRS has the best School Executive Team in the Northern Territory.
Mr Tom Ziebell joins the Executive after relocating from Carey Grammar, Melbourne and the Carey Zero Project he established in far north Queensland. He takes up the role as Director of Boarding. Tom brings broad experience across multiple school settings and a strong commitment to student wellbeing, connection and personal growth within our boarding context. He is a calm and experienced leader who has made an early positive impact with staff, students and boarding families.
Also joining us from Carey Grammar Melbourne is Mrs Katherine Ziebell, our new Head of Middle School. Katherine is an experienced and highly regarded educator who is deeply focused on student engagement, inclusive practice and supporting young adolescents through this important stage of their learning journey. Katherine has already impressed students and staff alike with her articulate and insightful thoughts on thriving in adolescence. Importantly, she is also a passionate and talented English teacher.
Dr Susannah Ritchie, a long-term and admired staff member, finally has all her children at HRS and has become full-time! As such, she steps into the Executive as our Director of Coaching. This role represents an exciting expansion of her leadership that will assist all staff and students across our school. A passionate and accomplished English teacher, who is known to regularly help our students achieve their very best, Susannah is also a brilliant team player who is always interested in improving teaching and learning. She is perfectly suited to her new coaching role.
Mrs Emma McDonald, well known to many families through her previous role as Deputy Head of Junior School, has also been promoted to the Executive Team as Director of Advancement and Engagement. Emma’s deep understanding of our local community and her strong relational approach will be central to strengthening partnerships with families and stakeholders. Emma’s role will include oversight of International Relations, Marketing, Admissions, Music and Performing Arts and Community Engagement. Her energy and dynamism will serve us well.
Mr Marc Vegter joins the Executive, having moved to our Darwin campus after 18 years in a wide range of leadership roles across a number of Haileybury Melbourne campuses. Marc is a Maths teacher and data guru and his extensive analytical experience across the Haileybury network will be invaluable as he supports strategic initiatives and our digital evolution across the School. Marc will help us continue our journey to providing innovative data-informed practice in all that we do.
Mr Brendan Evans has been promoted into the new action-packed role as our first Director of Activities. While continuing to teach his beloved Humanities subjects, Brendan will bring together the ever-expanding suite of activities that happen outside the classroom.

One of Brendan’s jobs is to bring every element together to show us exactly what all these options are.
Mrs Emily Fryer has also been promoted to a new whole-school role as Director of Student Wellbeing, after several outstanding and fulfilling years as our Head of Indigenous Student Wellbeing. Emily will continue to support the Hub team but provide extensive and informed wellbeing support to boarding, and all Middle and Senior School students. She will work closely with the Deputy Principal (Wellbeing), Ms Wendy Pickering-Tyers.
At the heart of this leadership team’s work is a shared belief that every student matters every day and that every staff member matters every day.
