Excel in your learning and your sporting career
The demands of training, travelling and competing can be tough — but it is possible to excel in your studies alongside your sporting career as well. Haileybury Pangea offers a personalised approach to all students in Years 5-12, so you can have more choice over when, where and how you learn.
Haileybury Pangea - Emerging Athletes
Meet Lily, a Haileybury Pangea student who recently graduated from Year 12. Lily began playing basketball at the age of six and that was the start of a lifelong passion for the sport. As Lily progressed with her basketball career it became apparent that she needed a flexible schooling model to help her meet the needs of both obtaining her VCE and partaking in her elite basketball program.
“For each subject there is only one lesson per week with homework clearly laid out and I can contact teachers outside of class times if I have any queries. I can attend training sessions and interstate events because I can access my class from any location.”Lily, Haileybury Pangea student
Lily attended a local Secondary School with a condensed timetable that she rounded out by studying a VCE single subject via Haileybury Pangea. Studying single subjects at Haileybury Pangea allowed Lily to continue her high-quality education without sacrificing her sport.
Flexibility in your VCE
There are three ways you can choose to study your VCE at Haileybury Pangea, whether that’s full-time, part-time, or by completing single subjects — if that aligns more seamlessly with your sporting schedule. No matter which path you choose, you will receive real-time feedback from Haileybury Pangea’s brilliant teachers at every step, who specialise in online learning and are always on hand to help you thrive in your unique learning journey.
Meet Grace, a bright young gymnast, who has been competing since the age of two. Grace and her family made the decision to move to Haileybury Pangea as a full-time student so Grace could maintain her focus on her gymnastics while still completing her schooling.
The mix of live lessons and self-paced study allows Grace to plan her daily gym schedule around classes. Grace is very proud to be one of the founding members of Haileybury Pangea and hopes to be one of the first students to complete their full Years 5-12 schooling online.
“Because of gymnastics and the amount of hours that I do, Haileybury Pangea is very flexible around it and it makes it much easier to do both study and gymnastics.”Grace, Haileybury Pangea student
Meet Alexandria, a rising star in the international world of freestyle scootering! In 2021, then 11-year-old Alexandria spent some of her free-time searching YouTube videos for inspiration, and that is when she came across freestyle scootering. Fast forward to 2024, and Alexandria is making a name in this new sport.
Alexandria trains and rides for about 10 to 12 hours a week, with those hours rising during competition season. Having the flexibility to train hard is the reason why she enrolled in Haileybury Pangea.
Hear from Haileybury Coach, Matthew Lloyd
Meet Matthew Lloyd, an ex-AFL footballer and current Haileybury coach. When Matthew was first drafted to the AFL, he was in Year 11 and had a challenging experience trying to balance a successful AFL career along with his academic studies.
The demands of training, competing and travelling as a high performance athlete can be tough especially while trying to balance academic studies also. Haileybury Pangea offers the opportunity for highly motivated students to excel at both their education as well as their sporting career.
Supporting our emerging athletes
Haileybury Pangea develops individual student pathways for all our athletes by building on their particular strengths and interests in an online setting that is both safe and connected to a larger community. To guide this, we have in place an award-winning Student Wellbeing program that underpins a student’s entire learning journey.
For athletes balancing rigorous training with education, our platform delivers support for their holistic growth. Our commitment extends to empowering these students to excel academically while nurturing physical and emotional wellbeing, ensuring they thrive both on and off the field.
This program offers a safe and supportive environment where students can ask questions and be actively involved in discussions around all topics relating to one’s wellbeing. It aims to build their emotional intelligence, develop their social skills and acquire an understanding of the society and world they live in. The importance of resilience and how to manage one’s ability to move through challenging times and grow from experiences is embedded within the program and extends throughout the broader Wellbeing Program.

Meet professional Snowboarder, Milo
Milo transitioned to Haileybury Pangea as a full-time student at the start of 2023 from Haileybury’s Brighton campus, so he could better balance his snowboarding commitments and studies.
