Hale School Building OFFICE OF THE PREMIER AND CABINET ROOM This commanding and historical site was originally home to Western Australia’s first secondary education facility and boarding house, Hale School. It was here that the foundations of the public and private secondary school education system in Western Australia were laid, To understand the historical significance and to gain a glimpse of early West Australian life, we invite you to view this pictorial history showing information on key attributes of the site’s history, from how the school came to be, its building and structure, to what life was like for the people residing here. The site also shows information on how the school originated, its challenges and growth and how the site became the setting for today’s Office of the Premier and Cabinet Room. 1858 HALE SCHOOL 1858 -1960 “THE GOOD BISHOP” First known as “The Bishop’s In 1856 Hale wa appointed Bishop Collegiate School after its founder, of Perth in England. On arrival in Perth’s first Anglican Bishop, Western Australia he soon realised Matthew Blagden Hale (b1811- the need for a boy’s secondary school d.1895). It then became known as to provide education to the colony’s The Church of England Collegiate future leaders. School (1863-1878), and later as The High School (1878 to 1929). Finally Modelled along the lines of the in 1929, to honour both the centenary traditional public schools of England, of the State and role of Bishop Hale the goal was to provide an education as the founder of secondary facility that trained boys to be education, the name was changed to leaders in church and state, as well Hale School. as providing a mix of traditional, classical and modern subjects along with the rigours of outdoor sporting activity. Financed predominantly by Hale and securing promises from prominent families to enrol their sons for a proposed fee, the school opened on June 28, 1858 with 23 students. “No man showed a greater faith in education than he, and none gave more freely of his own means to help forward the cause of secondary education.” Bishop Matthew Blagden Hale 1811-1895 Taken from the Official School Memorandum, February 1914.” TOUGH TIMES At the time, secondary education was seen as a luxury that many in the colony could simply not afford. By 1863 Hale struggled to keep the school financially afloat due to a lack of funding and enrolments. Hale resigned and a Board of Governors was called on to take over the responsibility of the school. The school was renamed The Church of England Collegiate School. A new name and board failed to change the school’s fortune and by 1872 was forced to close. The school master, Colonel Haynes, leased the school privately from the Board of Governors and continued to tutor a small number of students. 1876 THE HIGH SCHOOL ACT PASSES, 1876 After years of lobbying, the school received a lifeline from the Government by the passing of the High School Act through the Legislative Council in September 1876. The act made “provision for the establishment of a High School for the purpose of giving boys an education similar to that given in Australian colonies”. Funds were provided and the state school system begins. On March 1, 1978 the school began its new phase as “The High School” occupying various premises in the city, including the Cloisters, the Pensioner Barracks and the former Military Hospital in George Street. The school was modelled on the English school system, where the headmaster had to be a University graduate, not a minister of religion. 1890 - 1920 THE GOLDEN YEARS Responsible Government was observations, should not be interfered granted to Western Australia by with by the construction of the new Britain in 1889 and great prosperity school buildings. was enjoyed by the State due to the By December 1913, construction Gold Rush (1890 to 1920). commenced for the new School As a result of this new prosperity, Building (today the Constitutional Public Works continued at a Centre).

  • 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.

    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.
