  • THE BUS STOP BOYS

    Havelock Street, July 1927

    1927

    "There were few motor cars or trucks; buses had just started a Perth-Fremantle service - and the successful ascent of Malcolm Street by them when fully loaded was sometimes in doubt."

  • TRAINING FOR SPEECH NIGHT

    Performed with military precision

    1930s

    "P.T., known as ‘drill’, was supervised by ‘Buckety’ Wells, an old soldier of rather forceful mien, bristling hair and moustache, whose annual ‘tour de force’ was the Drill Display on the school lawn on Speech Night before an assembly of admiring parents and families."

  • THE END OF AN ERA

    No more orienteering, shooting or lantern stalking

    1975

    'The news came through that all Cadet Units were to be disbanded. This was received with mixed feelings; some sighed with relief, some cried for joy, but most had a look of sadness in their eyes.'

  • LEST WE FORGET

    They lost their lives doing their duty

    1999

    'Headmaster, John Inverarity commissioned the Hale School Memorial Groves which commemorate all Old Haleians who lost their lives while serving their country.'
