Hale School is an independent, Anglican day and boarding school for boys, located in Wembley Downs, a western suburb of Perth, Western Australia.
Named after the school founded by Bishop Mathew Blagden Hale in 1858,[1] Hale School claims to be the oldest private boys' school in Western Australia, a claim subsequently contested by historian and former Hale School Headmaster Dr. Ken Tregonning.[5] The school was originally situated at the Cloisters on St Georges Terrace in Perth, relocated to the Pensioner Guard Barracks at the top of St. George's Terrace around 1880, and then again relocated to its new Havelock Street premises in 1914 in West Perth. In 1961, the School moved to its current premises in Wembley Downs. The campus now consists of a junior school for Years Pre-Primary to Year 6, a middle school for Year 7, and a senior school for Year 8 to Year 12. The school also consists of sporting grounds and boarding facilities for regional and international students.
The school is a member of the Public Schools Association and the Junior School Heads Association of Australia.
Hale's sister school is St Mary's Anglican Girls' School located in Karrinyup, a nearby suburb.
In 2008, Hale School celebrated its sesquicentennial (150th) anniversary.
