Bursaries


The Old Haleians' Association has always played an important role in contributing to the aims and welfare of Hale School and its students. Since the 1960s, this positive support and involvement has included the Association funding a Bursary scheme. This funding is available to parents whose financial circumstances pose difficulties in meeting the costs of independent education at Hale. The Bursaries enable the continued education of boys who would enrich Hale School and our community by attending the School. Bursaries are provided on a confidential basis with initial requests directed to the Secretary of the OHA. Many outstanding boys have attended Hale as a result of this opportunity.

CAMERON McALPINE  - The Lister Drake Scholar for 2012

 

We are delighted to report that Cameron McAlpine (10 Wilson) is the winner of the Lister Drake Scholarship for 2012.

Criteria for selection were changed this year in order to recognise ‘an all rounder’ – a student able to play a full part in all activities of the School.

Cameron achieves well academically, learns guitar, participates in drama productions, Service Learning and debating. He plays football and tennis, coaches juniors in tennis and is well on the way to completing the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Cameron is a worthy recipient who has made his grandfather, Tony Ryan (1951-56) very proud.
