I also want to take this opportunity to welcome Mr Raymond Hill (Director of Curriculum) to his new role in 2019 – a key and senior role within the context of learning for all boys at Hale.

4 VISION FOR LEARNING

Hale School inspires the authentic development of every boy. To inspire the authentic development of boys in their learning, we must embrace the complex, contradictory and at times chaotic world they face. In order to help them navigate and thrive through changes and diversity in the way we work and contribute to society, there is a compelling need to develop transferable life skills along with a strong foundation of knowledge, understanding and capabilities. The attention given to developing transferable life skills together with knowledge, understanding and capabilities must be underpinned by our School Values and influenced by how our boys approach their learning. SCHOOL VALUES Excellence, Creativity, Integrity, Courage, Resilience, Service Our culture is underpinned by these values.

LEARNING HABITS Organisation, Perseverance, Initiative, Participation Our students’ approach to learning is influenced and indicated by these behaviours.

4Cs Critical reflection, Creativity, Collaboration, Communication Our teaching and learning practices foster the development of these transferable life skills.

GENERAL CAPABILITIES AND CROSS-CURRICULUM PRIORITIES Literacy, Numeracy, ICT Capabilities, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capabilities, Ethical Understanding, Intercultural Understanding and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures, Asia and Australia’s Engagement with Asia, Sustainability Our curriculum engages students in experiences that develop these capabilities.

It is through our Anglican heritage and our focus on wellbeing that boys at Hale School have the attitude, motivation and resilience to learn in this manner.

7 WACE subjects with highest performing students

There is no doubt that for most Year 12 students and their teachers, the School’s positive ethos regarding teaching and learning was apparent and sustaining, for students and staff alike. That ethos is characterised by high expectations of both students and staff, deep respect for learning, strong positive relationships, and mutual respect between staff and students. The School is immensely proud of the collaboration between boys, parents and teachers, which creates the shared, high value given to teaching and learning at Hale School.

Hale School had the highest performing students (in the top 15% in the State) in sixteen ATAR courses in 2019:

Accounting & Finance Applied Information Technology Chemistry Economics Engineering Studies Geography Literature Materials Design & Technology Mathematics Applications Mathematics Methods Mathematics Specialist Music Philosophy & Ethics Physical Education Studies Physics Visual Arts

12 NAPLAN RESULTS

The National Assessment Programme – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests are conducted in May each year for all students across Australia in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. All students in the same year level are assessed on the same test items in the assessment domains of Reading, Writing, Language Conventions (Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation) and Numeracy. The ‘National Minimum Standard’ referred to is a benchmark that is set by the national body responsible for administering the tests.
