The Western Australian Historical Society (Incorporated) JOURNAL and PROCEEDINGS The Western Australian Historical Society (Incorporated) JOURNAL AND PROCEEDINGS VOL. I.] 1930 [PART VII. The Society doe' "01 hold itself r~sp(ms;ble for statements made or opi"ions e:rprfSsed by "uthors of the papers published in this Journal BISHOP HALE AND SECONDARY EDUCATION [By MRS. E. D. COWAN, O.B.E.] [Read before the Society. June 27, 1930] I must preface this paper by saying that its scope is necessarily very limited. It is not possible in it to give a biographical sketch of our first Anglican Bishop, Matthew Blagden Hale, who expended thought, money and time in stabilising, by endowing liberally from his own means, the Church of E'ngland in this Colony; neither can I give an account fully of the practical interest taken by him in education generhlly. as well as that of the aborigines. A detailed paper of that description must be left to the able pen of Canon Burton (our chairman here to-night) or to some research student of the f"ture. I can deal with only one phase of the Bishop's work here-his college-and his interest in furthering secondary education. It is difficult, in a paper such as this, to do justice to the fine Christian ideals evident throughout the life of the late Right Reverend Matthew Blagden Hale, the first Anglican Bishop of Western Australia, who was beloved and appreciated by not only his personal friends, but by the community as a whole. It was no light task he undertook, that of overseeing and helping to evolve and foster the ideals of Christianity in the schools of the State and of founding its first secondary school for boys. The Bishop. then Archdeacon Hale, arrived here to take on the responsibility of his new office in July, 1856. He had previously visited the West in 1848 with the Adelaide Suffragan Bishop Short. Meeting then Miss Sabina Molloy, eldest daughter of Colonel and Mrs. Molloy, he induced her to become his second wife, and they were married at Busselton on December 30, 1848. Mrs. Hale was a handsome woman possessing ability, charm of manner, and great dignity. I can remember her from 1868 onwards as a close friend of my g-rand­ mother, Mrs. Thomas Brown, and we often visited at The lVestern .-lllstrulian Histol'iI'lIl Societl] Bishop Hale lind Secondary Education Bishop's House and Mrs. Hale and her husband came omission showed a want of gratitude to her father frequently to see my grandmother.

  • 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.

  • The History of Hale School and Its Old Boys
    Duty The History of Hale School and its Old Boys ‘…who can deny that to Bishop Hale must be given the credit of being something more than the founder of what is now Hale School. He is the founder of secondary education in this State; he has urged parents to value wisdom and knowledge above wealth, and slowly the lesson has been learned. Steadily there grew up a generation in whose minds the truth of Hale’s teaching had taken root, and the tradition thus implanted with so much toil and sacrifice has been built upon ever since’ No school or its graduates have played as prominent and integral role in the governance and development of Western Australia as Hale School and its Old Boys. Since its establishment over 150 years ago, Hale School has produced six Premiers, an Acting Prime Minister, numerous recipients of the Orders of Australia, 13 Rhodes Scholars and influential pioneers of the State’s pastoralist, forestry and iron ore industries. Old Boys, too, have become prominent musicians, artists, sculptors, illustrators, novelists and poets; they have become leading scientists, industrialists and businessmen. They have been recognised as distinguished public servants. They have served their country and been awarded the Victoria Cross, Distinguished Service Orders, Military Crosses and Distinguished Flying Crosses. They have represented the state and the country in sport at Olympic, national and state representative level. In other words, they have consistently upheld Hale School’s long standing reputation of producing young men determined to excel, to lead and, above all, to implement the School’s motto and fulfil their duty to their mates, their families and to the community.
