Facilities

Hale School is one of Western Australia’s oldest independent boys’ schools. Located in the suburb of Wembley Downs, the current campus is situated on a magnificent 48 hectare site, approximately 13 kilometres to the north-west of Perth and two kilometres from the coast. Hale School is an Anglican day and boarding school for boys from Year 1 to Year 12. Hale is an exceptional school, made so by a tradition of educational excellence which spans many decades.

Our appeal as a school rests in our strong sense of community, the values we celebrate, our commitment to realising the potential of each and every young man in our care, and in providing a balanced education that addresses the academic, social, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of our students' lives.

Senior School (Years 9-12)

Situated in the central and southern section of the School's campus, the Senior School facilities include specialised and general classroom blocks, excellent science laboratories, a modern design and technology building, the superb music and drama centre and a specialised art department. The Memorial Hall and main quadrangle provide a welcoming focus for all boys.

Middle School (Year 7-8)

In 2010 Hale School adopted a Middle School model that is based on best practice principles in catering for the needs of young adolescents. This model focuses on the provision of effective pastoral care and an engaging academic curriculum that challenges and excites boys as they enter this crucial stage of their learning.

In order to ensure that the Middle School curriculum is best delivered, Hale School established a purpose-built Middle School which opened in 2010.

Junior School (Years 1-6)

Hale Junior School is a community of approximately 300 boys, their parents and more than 30 members of staff. The principal entry levels are at Years 1, 5 and 7, though a few boys are able to begin at other levels. A superb teaching team works together to provide a high quality educational experience for the boys of the Junior School.

Situated in the north-western corner of the Hale campus, the Junior School has two blocks of classrooms, together with a spacious Library/Resource Centre, Art Centre and a Year 6 Centre. Basketball and tennis courts, cricket nets and playground equipment form part of the complex. The adjacent playing fields and other facilities, including the John Inverarity Music and Drama Centre, swimming pool and gymnasium, complete a superb environment in which to learn and play.

Hale Junior School provides a well-rounded education in which emphasis is placed on achieving high academic standards within a happy and stimulating environment. Careful attention is given to the balanced integration of academic, physical, emotional and social development. Personal growth is encouraged through the development of a positive self-concept, self-discipline, appropriate manners and achieving satisfying interpersonal relationships. The spiritual development of each boy is supported by our Religious and Values programme as well as our weekly Chapel service.

Boarding

Hale School has cared for boarders since its inception in 1858, and it values the contribution that they make to school life. Caring for boarders continues to be one of the School's most important priorities. During their time at Hale, boarders are surrounded by a team of caring people who provide support and guidance to make life away from home a little easier, whilst providing them with every opportunity to excel in their academic studies, sport and co-curricular activities.

Facilities
Boarding life at Hale centres around the living quarters and superb overall resources located on the School's 48 hectares of land.

There is one Boarding House for Years 6 to 8 boys, and the new senior boarding facility, comprising of two adjoining Houses, for boys in Years 9 to 12. Each of the Boarding Houses contains their own recreational facilities, kitchen, showers, television rooms and computer access. All are fully air-conditioned, heated and carpeted.

Boarders enjoy a wide variety of excellent quality food. Breakfast and dinner are available in the Tom Hoar Dining Hall, which operates on a cafeteria-style basis, with morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and supper making up the rest of the daily menu

Pastoral Care

At Hale School, pastoral care is defined as the total climate of care that exists in the School. It is based on the premise that each individual student feels that he belongs to the school community and has the fullest possibility for personal, social, academic and spiritual growth.

Pastoral care is expressed through the personal commitment of all staff to each student. It is delivered through communication to the student in various informal inter-personal contacts in the classroom, in other learning situations and through formal structures. Staff, in particular the Pastoral Care Leaders and Heads of House, are responsible for the pastoral care of all students in the Senior School. The goal of this system is to form strong relationships between staff, students and their families.
