Haileybury Rendall School

What Haileybury Rendall School does

Haileybury Rendall School is a private co-educational day and boarding school located in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, operating as part of the broader Haileybury school network headquartered in Melbourne. The school offers a continuous educational pathway from Early Learning Centre (ages 3-5) through Junior School (Transition to Year 6), Middle School (Years 7-9), and Senior School (Years 10-12) with the VCE program, alongside domestic and international boarding for Years 7-12. Its core differentiator is the Explicit Teaching Model — a research-based 'I Do, We Do, You Do' instructional framework combined with systematic synthetic phonics — developed and refined over 18-19 years at Haileybury. The school also runs the Haileybury Pangea online campus for students in Years 5-12 in Victoria and NT, and a Phonics 101 professional development course for teachers at $295.

Haileybury Rendall School's business model is built on recurring tuition and boarding fees, supplemented by a one-time $580 enrollment fee ($280 non-refundable entrance + $300 Old Haileyburians' Association life membership) plus an additional $500 for ELC commencement. Sibling discounts (5%, 10%, 20% for 2nd, 3rd, 4th+ siblings) apply to tuition. Its primary customer segments are domestic families seeking private education in Darwin/NT, Indigenous students from remote communities across NT, WA, and Queensland (approximately 15% of the student body, or 110+ students living onsite in boarding), and online learners in Victoria and NT. The school is closely affiliated with parent Haileybury, which provides teaching frameworks, professional development, and curriculum resources; HRS also partners with Stars Foundation, Clontarf Academy, and the Haileybury Foundation to support Indigenous students and scholarship pathways. The school achieved Australia's Regional School of the Year (2023), Boarding School of the Year (2022), and produced the highest ATAR in the Northern Territory in 2025.
