Hale School is an independent, Anglican day and boarding school for boys, located in Wembley Downs, a western suburb of Perth, Western Australia.

Named after the school founded by Bishop Mathew Blagden Hale in 1858, Hale School claims to be the oldest private boys' school in Western Australia, a claim subsequently contested by historian and former Hale School Headmaster Dr. Ken Tregonning. The school was originally situated at the Cloisters on St Georges Terrace in Perth, relocated to the Pensioner Guard Barracks at the top of St. George's Terrace around 1880, and then again relocated to its new Havelock Street premises in 1914 in West Perth. In 1961, the school moved to its current premises in Wembley Downs. The campus now consists of a junior school for Years Pre-Primary to Year 6, a middle school for Year 7, and a senior school for Year 8 to Year 12. The school also consists of sporting grounds and boarding facilities for regional and international students.

The school is a member of the Public Schools Association and the Junior School Heads Association of Australia.

Hale's sister school is St Mary's Anglican Girls' School located in Karrinyup, a nearby suburb.

In 2008, Hale School celebrated its sesquicentennial (150th) anniversary.

History

Part of Australia's colonial history, Hale School educated many prominent sons of the Swan River Colony. The school was originally known as Boys High School and the inaugural chairman was Archibald Paull Burt, a notable jurist and slaveholder in the West Indies.

Modelled on England's prestigious public schools, it has sometimes been accused of being elitist. For example, in his biography of explorer and politician Sir John Forrest, Frank Crowley described the school's values throughout the 1870s as "a heady compound of social snobbery, laissez-faire capitalism, sentimental royalism, patriotic Anglicanism, benevolent imperialism and racial superiority".

In contemporary social commentary, for example Mark Peel's study of class and schooling in Australia, Hale School was identified as one of the most rigorous and selective schools for boys. In recent times equity concerns have been addressed by a scholarship program, including the first full boarding scholarships in Western Australia for Indigenous students.

Since at least 1930, Hale School has misrepresented its association with Bishop Hale's School, falsely claiming for instance that it was initially known as "Bishop Hale's Collegiate School", and later as "The High School". However the two were always completely separate legal entities that coexisted for 10 years - from 1876 until 1885 - under their own separate Acts of Parliament.

Bishop Hale's private school commenced in 1858 and was known variously as "Bishop’s College", "Bishop Hale's School" and "Bishop’s Collegiate School". In 1863 the Church of England established the "Church of England Collegiate School" under an Act of Parliament Ordinance 26 Vic. No. 12, of 1863. Two years later on September 7, 1865, "Bishop Hale conveyed the school property to the Governors of the Church of England Collegiate School and their successors and assigns for ever—viz., Perth Building Lots H1, and H7. Bishop Hale’s School then became the Church of England Collegiate School, but was better known and spoken of as Hale’s School."

A decade later in 1878 the taxpayer funded secular state "High School" opened its doors "across the road" from the Collegiate School. The latter could not compete when its fee paying students reenrolled at the new taxpayer sponsored "High School". The secular "High School" effectively and immediately put "Hale's School" out of business by taking away so many of its students, if not all of them, that it was no longer viable. Nevertheless "Hale's School" persisted as a legal entity for another 8 years until 1885 when the Act under which the original Bishop Hale's School had been incorporated was dissolved.

Bishop Hale's Collegiate School perpetually ceased to exist 26 years after Bishop Hale commenced classes in 1858 because the creation of what is today called "Hale School" put it out of business.

Exactly 100 years later, in 1958, persistent historical misrepresentations by former "High School" students were used to convince the Parliament of Western Australia into renaming "High School" to "Hale School" - in supposed honour of its purported founder - and the "High School Act (1876)" became the "Hale School Act (1876)", converting the secular school into a religious school under the auspices Governance of the Anglican Archbishop as Visitor.

Controversies

According to Edith Cowan, Western Australia's first female member of Parliament, the Act that evolved out Bishop Hale's School – the Church of England Collegiate School Act – co-existed with a public secular school instantiated under its own Act – the High School Act, creating two independent and theologically opposed legal entities. The latter then took the name "Hale School", the commencement date of 1858, and other propaganda associating itself with Bishop Hale, about which Cowan laments:

"It is only those of us who remember Bishop Hale personally and his deeply spiritual and religious type of mind (yet broad and tolerant of the views of others) who can realise the travesty of giving his name to an institution whose foundations are so unmistakably opposite to the principles he invariably upheld. Can it be wondered at that the Diocesan Council takes exception, as do other members of the Church of England, to the present High or Hale School’s use of the old Bishop Hale’s School badge, to the foundation date on its new buildings and the incorrect statement that Bishop Hale founded the High School."

Locations

Bishop Hale's Collegiate School occupied buildings designed by Richard Roach Jewell in 1858 and situated on St Georges Terrace. The buildings eventually became known as The Cloisters. In 1914, the school moved to a more spacious site at Havelock Street, West Perth, opposite the Parliament of Western Australia. Finally, in 1961, the school relocated to its current 480,000 m (120 acres) premises in Wembley Downs.

Headmasters

Campus

Hale School's campus is a 48-hectare site located in Wembley Downs. The administration building, Memorial Hall (including the redfoot youth theatre), Tom Hoar Dining Hall, Stowe Drama Centre, Forrest Library, Chapel of St Mark, cafeteria, clothing store, IT department and Old Haleians' Boardroom are all located on the south west corner of the campus near the main entrance.

The Peter Wright Technology Building, which houses the Design and Technology Workshop as well as Computer and Design Suites sits adjacent to the Doug Poake Pool. Also adjacent to the swimming pool is the art complex, gymnasium and change-rooms.

The John Inverarity Music and Drama Centre is located on the western side of the campus facing Unwin Avenue. This building separates the Senior School from the Junior School which is located on the north west corner of the campus, along with the junior boarding residence, Brine House. The senior boarding house is located on the eastern side of the campus while the sports playing fields occupy the north east.

Forrest Library

The new Teaching and Learning precinct on the site of the old boarding houses near the south entrance to the campus was officially opened on 1 July 2009. The main feature of this project, a new Library Resource Centre includes a dedicated Year 12 study area and Gifted and Talented and Curriculum Support rooms facing a central courtyard. Beneath the library is a new clothing store, IT department and Old Haleians' Boardroom.

While the library was open for student use from February in the 2009 school year, the official opening ceremony was not held until 1 July 2009, when the facility was officially opened by Andrew Forrest and unveiled as the Forrest Library. It honours members of the Forrest family, from Sir John Forrest to Alexander Forrest, and on to Andrew Forrest himself, who had been educated at Hale.

Also included in this precinct are a new cafeteria with internal and external seating opposite the library and a new Teaching and Learning building. The classroom block ('F-block') consists of 17 teaching spaces for History, English and languages, as well as two language oral work rooms and new office space for teaching staff. Another important feature is a set-down and pick-up road that runs from a new 50-bay carpark adjacent to the chapel, along the front of the classroom block, past the Library undercroft, before rejoining the main drive.

In 2010 the Australian Institute of Architects awarded the Forrest Library an Architecture Award for Public Architecture.

John Inverarity Music and Drama Centre

The John Inverarity Music and Drama Centre comprises a large auditorium/theatre, backstage holding rooms, two main rehearsal studios, percussion and string studios, two large music teaching rooms and 19 music practice rooms. It was first opened for use in January 2001.

The centrepiece of the complex is the timber-lined recital auditorium which accommodates 353 patrons on stepped tiers with a flat performance area 17 m wide and 12 m deep. The auditorium design has been dictated by the requirements to have natural acoustics for music. This has been achieved through the use of a traditional 'rectangular box' design with a maximum ceiling height of 8 m. The auditorium can be tuned for different instruments and various music/drama performances to achieve desired acoustic qualities. This is accomplished by a system of moveable full-height wall reflectors, suspended ceiling reflectors and rotating wall panels with differing degrees of absorptive linings. The ceiling loft is mechanised with 27 variable speed automatic winch lines which give a great degree of flexibility for a range of shows.

Middle school

The construction of a new middle school facility commenced in January 2009 and was completed in January 2010. The middle school site is located adjacent to Unwin Avenue, between the John Inverarity Music and Drama Centre and the Memorial Hall. The building contains 16 classrooms for Year 7 and 8 students. The Year 8 classrooms are on the ground floor and the Year 7 classrooms are on the first floor. The main entrance, reception and administration offices for the Head of Middle School, Deputy Head, Head of Curriculum and Head of Pastoral Care are located on a separate intermediate level, which is at street level with Unwin Avenue. Other staff facilities are located on the ground floor. In addition, the facility incorporates one of the school's existing buildings ('L-block' classrooms) which were refurbished as music, drama and science classrooms for the middle school. The ground level of this building was refurbished as a middle school science classroom (and store room), with the upper level refitted to house a drama classroom, music classroom (with store room) and four music practice rooms.

The refurbishment of this building commenced in October 2009 but was not completed in time for the commencement of the school year in February 2010. The new building replaced the 'C-block' classrooms and Senior School Library that previously occupied the site and were demolished in December 2008.

Junior school

The Hale junior school was originally built when the Wembley Downs campus was opened. Today, it has classes from pre–primary up to Year 6, with around 400 students enrolled. It was demolished in 2017 to give way to an award winning new campus. Awards include 'Architecture Award for Education Architecture, Western Australia 2019' and 'Learning Environments WA Chapter, Category 2: New Construction / New Individual Facility over $8m'. It features a modern design with the year groups split up into a 'Lower Junior' (PP to Year 2), 'Middle Junior' (Year 3 and Year 4) and 'Upper Junior' (Year 5 and Year 6). All buildings have open areas, called 'breakout spaces', where students can work together in small groups or presentations can be held.

Sporting facilities

Hale School campus includes various sporting facilities, including:

• an eight lane 25-metre heated swimming pool

• a ten lane 50-metre heated swimming pool
• a gymnasium, with basketball, badminton, volleyball, squash and rock climbing facilities
• weights room

In 1885, the school entered a team into the West Australian Football Association (WAFA) for its inaugural season, but were forced to withdraw two rounds into the season due to a lack of players.

Hale School has hosted important teams over the years, including the English rugby team on occasions, namely for training during the 2003 Rugby World Cup. The school hosted the English Cricket Academy, including international cricketers Michael Vaughan, Owais Shah, Stuart Broad, Rikki Clarke and Jon Lewis for nets sessions and practice matches, as seen on the front page of The West Australian on 29 November 2006.

House system

There are currently 10 houses in Hale Middle/Senior School. These include eight day houses and two boarding houses:

• Buntine – red (named after former headmaster MA Buntine)
• Faulkner (boarding) – light green (named after former headmaster FC Faulkner)
• Havelock – black and yellow striped (named after the former location of the school on Havelock St); the most successful house, having won the most Cock House Cups and Breaststroke trophies, winning the latter for 22 consecutive years as of 2023
• Haynes (named after former teacher Paddy Haynes) – yellow
• Loton – orange and navy blue
• Parry – navy blue (named after the Parry family who made a large donation to the school)
• Riley – dark green
• Meade (formerly St Georges) – red and white (named after former headmaster SG Meade)

• Wilson (boarding) – blue (named after former headmaster MA Wilson)

Loton was changed from a boarding house to a day house in 2005, following the completion of the new boarding house. Prior to this Loton's colour was brown.

Year 7 and 8 boarders are housed in Brine House, which is located between the Junior School and the Music and Drama Centre; however, they are also members of either Faulkner or Wilson houses.

There are also four houses in Hale Junior School, named after Rhodes Scholars:

• Davy – dark green
