20.01.2022 Yesterday brought closure to what was a unique PSA winter sport season. It had a bit of everything; a pandemic delay, dramatic victories, tough losses, a few premierships, new indigenous jerseys and an extended finish line. Above all else we are thankful that sport has been able to be a part of our boys lives in 2020 when so many around the country and the world have not had these opportunities. We look forward to sport continuing to unite our community. #bleedblue #haleschool

19.01.2022 The Year 12s finished their year off in style last week with their Graduation celebrations and Valedictory Assembly an emotional time for all. The Year 12s reflected on their time at Hale and were treated to a variety of musical performances, reflections and prayers at significant landmarks around the School’s campus. The whole school then gathered on Craig Oval to farewell the Year 12 cohort with the traditional guard of honour and Viking Clap. The Ceremonies were followed by lots of fun at the Year 12 Activity afternoon with boys dressing up in a range of creative kits, having a go on the slip and slide, and throwing themselves around in inflatable balls with Perth Bubble Soccer. It was a fun end to a very busy week for the Year 12s and we wish them all the best on their upcoming exams and for the future.

We wish the class of 2020 all the best on their step into the future and hope to see them soon again.

15.01.2022 The farewell to our Year 12 students started today with the Craig Oval Guard of Honour attended by all students of Hale.
