OH HALE, YOU BEAUT!
School Blazers through the years
BLAZERS
Blazers were officially introduced along with the School Crest and Motto in 1919.
OH HALE, YOU BEAUT!
Over 166 years of tradition and duty
1858
Legend has it that Bishop Hale escorted his first pupil on horseback to Perth, camping out in the bush, over a three day period in time for the opening of the doors at The Cloisters on 28 June 1858.
THE SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM
Substance counted for more than appearance
1899
"There was no such things as football boots. You just had to use the same boots you wore to School.”
HAVELOCK STREET
Laying of the Foundation Stone
1914
The Governor, Sir Harry Barron, 'hoped that the School would continue to be an important factor in the life of the State, and that the tuitions of the School would be kept up as long as Western Australia existed.'
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."
Boys being boys
Havelock Street, 1941
1941
Off to the inters
A spirit which cannot be taught
1965
Peter Eakins and Frankie Kuhn lead the charge from Hale School to the Inters Athletics Championships.
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.'
THE HEART OF HALE SCHOOL
Honouring the past - Building the future
2024
Within the walls of Memorial Hall, generations of Old Haleians have in turn been commemorated and remembered. They have celebrated, spoken and performed, but most importantly, all have shared in the life of Hale School.
FIND YOUR FRONTIER
Continuing authentic development into the future
CURRENT
Old Haleians can be found all over the world doing all manner of things. Wembley Downs is just the beginning of this incredible journey.
