About Us

Hale School’s foundations were set in 1858, making it the oldest boys’ school in Western Australia. We are sited on an elevated 48 hectare property, 15 minutes west of the Perth city centre. Our school is a thriving environment catering for boys from Years 1 to Year 12. We also offer modern and high quality boarding accommodation for boys in Year 7 onwards. Hale School continues its proud tradition of being a leading school in academia, the arts and sports. It is a progressive school with ongoing development of teaching and learning strategies and pastoral care initiatives. A vital part of the education provided at Hale School involves instilling in the boys personal attributes such as responsibility, independence, resilience, concern and respect for others, leadership and strong moral values.
