Headmaster's welcome Hale School has a proud tradition of boarding that extends back to 1858. Today, as has always been the case, boarding is the foundation of Hale School. One of the many great strengths of this school is that we have students who come from all over our state, the country and, increasingly, the world. The diversity that this brings to Hale is significant and prepares boys well for the increasingly complex world ahead of them. Boarding is an ideal way to prepare young men for the future. The Hale@home programme is the best way to prepare boys about to enter the immersive and educational environment that boarding provides. We recognise that the transition from home to boarding can be challenging. I know that our staff, facilities and programmes are first class – this programme provides another level of reassurance that the transition will be successful.

Additional copies of the publication may be obtained from the Curriculum Council. SC1S No: 985856 ISBN 0 7307 2717 3 • ѓ#1•7 mister's forewor Pro'a ьІ y the greatest challenge facing education in Western Australia is that of meeting students' needs as we enter the twenty-first century. The Curriculum Council's Curriculum Framework has placed this State at the forefront of curriculum development in Australia. The task of the Council's Post-Compulsory Education Review is to ensure that upper-secondary is consistent with the Framework and meets the numerous and increasing demands upon our schools. These demands include widespread provision of vocational education and training, responding to the changing workplace and the spread of information technology, and greater flexibility in delivery of education to young people. The first stage of the Review has involved consultation with educationists, teachers, students and industry representatives to develop this discussion paper for community consideration. The paper proposes a new post-compulsory education system that aims to ensure all students are provided with opportunities to develop the knowledge, understandings, skills and values to succeed in their lives. I expect community involvement to be extensive during the consultation phase of the Review. There will be school visits and community seminars in country and metropolitan areas to provide information to teachers, parents and the wider community and to seek their input.

School Fees Report 2019 Introduction
School Fees Report 2019 Introduction With one in three Australian families sending their child to a non- Government school, private school fees are a huge investment for parents. Edstart’s School Fees Report helps you understand the trends in private school fees across the country. This year’s report analysed fees from over 300 schools, covering tuition, compulsory additional fees and boarding fees. Overall Trends Private school fees across Australia have risen by an average of 3.1% in 2019, which is slightly down from 3.2% last year. While almost 9% of schools reduced their fees or had no fee change, we found that over 84% of schools increased their fees by more than the current inflation rate of 1.8%*. Fee inflation also continued to outpace the average wage growth rate of 2.2%. While there was a small drop in school fee inflation this year, state-based fee analysis showed significant geographic variances. NSW and Victoria continued to lead the way with the highest average school fees and smallest percentage of schools where fees remained the same or were reduced. Western Australia saw the highest percentage of schools that did not raise their fees in 2019 and the lowest average increase in fees at merely 1.58%. On the other hand, ACT showed the highest fee increase of 5.07%. These statewide trends are caused by some of the key themes that are explained further below. A Tale of Three Parts While overall school fee trends were consistent with prior years, 2019 has generated the largest variety of school fee changes in many years.
