CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
The Board of Governors has spent a considerable amount of time in the past few years looking at what Hale needs to plan for into the future to continue to be a leading educator of young men. The Board’s overarching agenda is to understand the totality of what needs to be made available to the School to take it into the next 50 years. The School’s strategic vision will continue to iterate but a constant will be how do we meet/fund whatever is required (whether that is on the Wembley Downs campus, elsewhere in Western Australia or outside Australia) to best prepare the boys of Hale to make a contribution to the world in which they live.
The principal reason why the Board can do this is because of Stuart Meade and his executive team. Hale has a cohesive and highly effective leadership group, committed to implementing the Vision for the School. There is energy to learn,
improve, innovate and tap into the continually changing, global educational environment.
We have an extremely talented staff whose commitment to the School’s students extends well beyond the classroom into so many of Hale’s sporting, performing arts and co-curricular programmes. The breadth of opportunities available in these programmes contributes to the unique environment that is Hale School.We ask our Headmaster, his executive and all our professional teaching staff and support staff not only to make Hale what it is today but also to position Hale to get to where it is going tomorrow. It is so much more than teaching and educating in the moment, term or year.
The world is a much different place today for our children and grandchildren as it will be for the children and grandchildren
of the current cohort of the young men at Hale today. Today’s generation and it would seem future generations can do and will make their future(s) nearly anywhere in the world.
The influence of technology alone on the future generations has literally only just begun.
I have mentioned at Speech Day that the traditional post-school pathways for many boys is no longer a matter of course. In fact, the quality and range of choice for many boys sees them looking more and more at options outside Western Australia and turning their aspirations to opportunities well beyond tertiary education. There is simply so much opportunity and the boys are seeking it out.
Part of Hale’s role is to be informed about the broader world and to bring
The Board’s overarching agenda is to understand the totality of what needs to be made available to the School to take it into the next 50 years.

that knowledge into the Hale paradigm, to equip the boys of Hale with the skill base to take advantage of what is waiting for them.
The next version of Hale’s strategic vision is currently in development. It will continue to address the present but plan for the future. The Board will then look at what is required to fulfil that vision.
A constant is the basis of the cultural spine of Hale. Hale’s culture has its foundation in Anglican values espoused by the School’s founder. The Hale family’s decision to entrust Bishop Hale’s diaries to the School is an extraordinary act of generosity. A number of people were closely involved in making this happen and we owe them a vote of thanks.
Providing the executive of the School with sufficient resources to meet the challenge set by the Board is important.
In addition to the strategic vision, a detailed master plan for assets is regularly updated and identifies in detail future capital works and provisional costings.
The Board is in the process of reviewing and renewing the School’s Facilities Master Plan to enable the School to plan for the renewal of ageing facilities and construction of new projects. The new Facilities Master Plan update is in its final draft stage. It includes indicative costing of identified proposed new building infrastructure (on the Wembley Downs campus) over a 20-year period.
The campus witnessed a host of minor works and refurbishments during the year, including completion of the Junior School Learning Hub, Junior School Drama Precinct, Chapel refurbishment, Boardroom refit, and air-conditioning and lighting upgrades.
A decision to commit to new building projects is based on detailed planning, research and investigation. For the past year, architects have been working closely with the School’s Executive to design the new Junior School to replace the current 50-year old facility.
There is work to be done on the design, but preliminary plans submitted by the architect present a spacious, contemporary design, which will undoubtedly provide students with an incredible learning environment that will last the test of time.
Subject to final Board approval, building is scheduled to commence in early 2017. Facilities for Pre-Primary are currently included in the planning.
The Hale community over many years has provided great support. Central pillars have been the Old Haleians’ Association and the Hale School Foundation.
A dose of reality is the current economic conditions and the impact on the issue of affordability for parents. Control of costs and the limiting of fee increases were integral components of the 2016 budget process. There is little likelihood of that approach changing in the 2017 budget process.
Accessibility to Hale is a priority issue for the Governors. Hale students are drawn from a wide demographic and the benefit of that is clear to all. The strength of the School culture, the desire of parents and the broader School community to engage in and support School activities and contribute are such an important part of what is Hale. This is truly a wonderful attribute of the School.
For over three decades the Board of Governors has looked at how to manage its most valuable financial asset, being unutilised land on the Wembley Downs campus. In the past four years another study has been undertaken in respect to unutilised land, which is incomplete. It has two purposes: firstly, to determine a value and secondly, if anything was to be done, what are the options.
There are many many more issues in relation to land (as it is), not the least being the intrinsic value to Hale of the unique nature of its campus and what this means to so many of us.
As stated, the Board is motivated by positioning for the future and understanding the totality of the School asset base.
I hasten to add that the School’s balance sheet is probably in the strongest position it has ever been and that the Hale School Foundation (chaired by Brett Fullarton) continues to provide wonderful support with scholarships, bursaries, indigenous education programme support and capital works.
On behalf of the Hale community, I would like acknowledge two Governors who retired recently and announce the appointment of a new Governor.
Jan Stewart has served on the Hale Board for nearly 13 years and was an active and committed Governor. In addition to being involved in many major financial decisions including the Forrest Library, Middle School, Junior School Gymnasium, Junior School Art Centre and Aquatic Centre projects, Jan strongly supported Hale’s community and indigenous programmes. Grant Robson joined the Board in 2014. The Board received great benefits from Grant’s strong financial background and wise management counsel. During his term, cut short by a work transfer to the east, Grant contributed fully at Committee and Board level. To Jan and Grant thank you for your active commitment to Hale.
John Garland has joined the Board as a Perth Diocesan Trustee nominee. John is well known to the School with his affiliation as an Old Boy, former President of the Old Haleians’ Association and current parent. John has extensive experience in his professional field and will be a fine contributor to the Board.
Appointments to the Board of Governors are made by the Old Haleians’ Association and the Perth Diocesan Trustees.
There is no doubt that so much to do with where Hale is today, its feel and culture is drawn from the boys, parents, grandparents, staff and the Old Boys and the way this community engages and involves itself in Hale.
It is a great privilege for the Board of Governors to serve the Hale Community.

HEADMASTER’S REPORT
2015 ANNUAL REPORT(written June 2016)
Schools are dynamic and highly relational places. Learning takes so many forms; to embrace it, to foster it and to enjoy it are at the core of effective schools. Our challenge as a thriving community is to capture the essence of learning in all that we do.
The Strategic Intent document 2014-2016 informs the strategic direction of the School. The six ‘pillars’ or Key Focus Areas are referenced regularly at all levels of decision making, underpinned by the School’s Anglican heritage and Christian values.
1. TEACHING & LEARNING
Goal: to ensure all students achieve to their potential through excellence in teaching and learning
Throughout 2015, the ongoing implementation of the Australian Curriculum and the WA Curriculum were significant ‘markers’ to be met. Research into effective innovation, boys’ education, contemporary teaching and learning techniques and skills, a new teaching philosophy in the Junior School – ‘Prepare, Teach, Connect’ – and the ongoing use of technology to enhance the School’s academic programmes were undertaken with many recommendations made and accepted throughout the year.
YEAR 12, 2015The number of Year 12 students at Hale in 2015 was 210, the highest on record.
199 students achieved an ATAR; this is also the highest number on record. In addition, 11 students received Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications.
100% GRADUATION
Every student in Year 12 is congratulated for achievement of the WA Certificate of Education (WACE).

HEADMASTER’S REPORT
2. Pastoral care
Goal: To ensure that all students are connected through positive relationships and feel supported, safe and valued
For pastoral care to be effective in schools, it must be omnipresent – in the classroom, in the grounds, on the sporting fields and in all interactions and relationships undertaken at the School. It must be part of the culture evident within the school community. Whilst there are practices that underpin the strategies implemented within the description of pastoral care, it is the overall approach that constitutes effective pastoral care. Staff must be aware of their responsibilities in this regard.
Ongoing professional development for staff, the identification of key periods such as the transition to Year 9 and significant experiential events such as ‘The Butterfly Effect’ in Middle School were impactful in 2015. The alignment of pastoral care policies between the sub-schools also gained prominence as the newly appointed Director of Pastoral Care became familiar with the Hale philosophy of pastoral care. The appointment of a Coordinator of Indigenous Students during the year strengthened further the support for the School’s Indigenous students programme as well as providing opportunities for all throughout the School to learn more about the Indigenous culture.
3. Co-curricular programmes
Goal: To provide opportunities to develop students’ skills, values, capacities and interests beyond the classroom
The School’s extensive co-curricular programme is an area where the School’s vision to provide opportunities for every boy to excel is played out.
There is immense pride in the accomplishments of the senior swimming, water polo and rugby teams for winning their respective PSA competitions, just as there is for the efforts of all sporting teams throughout the School, be it the Junior School representative teams, the B, C and D squads in so many sports or the internal House-based sports.
The Performing Arts programme also commanded centre stage throughout the year with numerous performances and concerts of superior quality. To see such commitment by the students and the teaching staff provides inspiration and aspiration to others, with the large numbers involved in all such activities a testament to this.
Student Service Learning continues to be a benchmark programme throughout the School with the notion of service for others at the forefront of the many activities undertaken in this domain. The addition of the Salvation Army Women’s Refuge as a new venture in which Hale students can be involved has been one of mutual and lasting benefit.
4. Staffing
Goal: To create and support a positive community in which staff are highly effective in their roles
Renewed focus on the recruitment, induction and development of staff occurred throughout 2015. The Director of Staff Development was pivotal in this area and further developed a staff performance review and development tool embracing coaching as well as personal growth and development goals. Its effects have already been felt throughout the teaching staff. Staff were encouraged to attend relevant professional development courses and conferences, with many taking the opportunity to present and add to professional dialogue in their areas of expertise. The Isaachsen Award, the Innovation Award and other modes of recognition are ways to recognise and inspire teachers to enhance their contributions to the profession at Hale.
5. Resources and Infrastructure
Goal: To provide and maintain appropriate resources and infrastructure to support the School’s Strategic Plan, future growth and environmental sustainability initiatives
The review and update of the Facilities Master Plan was a major item on the Board of Governors’ agenda in 2015. Working groups were convened to investigate and prioritise the physical
needs of the School in the foreseeable future. The Junior School, Brine House, a Drama precinct, the Senior Administration building were areas elevated to the head of the list while the possible use of ‘surplus’ lands was also investigated.
6. Community
Goal: To strengthen and invigorate positive and enduring relationships between Hale and the broader community
Partnerships, be they of an academic nature, pastoral care of service learning focus or socially motivated were explored and enhanced throughout the year. The School’s website was enhanced and the School’s presence on social media was updated. A decision to broaden our presence in the rural community was enacted with Hale School staff members in attendance at various shows, field days and in hosting social events throughout rural WA.
Parent, student & teacher satisfaction
Communication between the School (teachers and administration), parents and students is ongoing. The pastoral care and academic leaders within the School are in constant contact with parents and vice versa regarding issues that may arise, are likely to arise or have arisen.
In 2014, the School conducted a parent survey to elicit feedback regarding the parents’ views of what works and what could be improved. In summary, the best aspects of the School were listed to be: academic programmes, teachers, the culture/values of the School, co-curricular opportunities, the facilities and the pastoral care programme.
In response to the question: “When you consider the total school package, how would you rate your level of satisfaction?” 69% of respondents recorded their rating as Very Satisfied with a further 23% as Satisfied. 5% of respondents recorded their rating as Adequate.
In 2015, the School conducted a student survey for completion by students in Years 5, 7, 9 and 11. The results were divided into sub-schools to enable specific strategies to be developed
11
HEADMASTER’S REPORT
where appropriate. The results of this survey were positive in all domains, while areas for improvement were also noted.
In 2015, targeted surveys were conducted in the following areas: Junior School, Middle School pastoral care, Year 9 boarding cohort, Education Technologies domain, Year 12 (exit) and as part of teacher performance review and development. Results were positive along with areas for attention and development being identified.
School leadership & management
The School’s Leadership Team and sub-school executive teams are highly effective and serve the School well. Their willingness to invest their talents in the pursuit of a common purpose in a manner unlimited by the letter of any job description but illuminated by the spirit of the true, rounded education is valued highly. They believe in high expectations and have high hopes.
The Board of Governors, led by Mr Jon Birman, gave of their time selflessly. Expertise and experience stand behind their contributions and their genuine commitment to the betterment of the School was unfailing.
During 2015, two Board members, Jan Stewart and Grant Robson, concluded their time on the Board. I salute and thank them for all they have given Hale. Their legacy in many areas of governance and strategic development is significant.
Conclusion
I acknowledge and thank our families and community for their support and encouragement during the year and trust that 2016 will continue to strengthen and affirm our deep commitment to Hale School’s vision. We are committed to building a culture of high expectations that nourishes the development of creative, confident, accomplished young men.

THE SCHOOL
Hale School was established in 1858 and is the oldest independent boys’ school in Western Australia.
The School’s history can be traced back to when the State’s first Anglican Bishop, Mathew Blagden Hale, established the Bishop’s Collegiate School less than 30 years after the Western Australian colony was founded. In 1876, the School was reconstituted under an Act of Parliament and in 1878 assumed the title of the High School. That name remained until 1929 when parliament ratified the name, Hale School. It remains the only school in Western Australia that operates under its own legislation.
In its formative years the School occupied various sites on St George’s Terrace, moving to Havelock Street in 1914 and then in 1961 to its present site in Wembley Downs.
Hale School is an Anglican school for boys with a 2015 enrolment of 1,495. The campus is located on the one 48-hectare site in Wembley Downs, 12km from the centre of the City of Perth.
The School has continued to maintain its strong boarding tradition with 195 boys
residing in the two boarding houses. Boarding students at Hale come from all over Western Australia and overseas.
The School continues to develop its relationships with indigenous communities, particularly in the north of Western Australia. In 2015, there were 21 indigenous students, 20 of which are boarding at Hale School.
With the School’s recognised opportunities and achievements in academic, sporting and creative pursuits, its high level of pastoral care, spacious campus and outstanding facilities, there continues to be strong enrolment demand at the School.
The School’s facilities, coupled with a highly skilled and motivated team of teaching and non-teaching staff and well managed finances, position Hale School as being able to look forward to the future with confidence.
In 2015, the School employed 254 full-time equivalent staff: 152 teaching staff, 101 non-teaching staff and one indigenous non-teaching staff member.
Enrolment and staffing figures are as at August 2015 Commonwealth Government Census.
FACILITIES
The School’s facilities are located on the Wembley Downs site, excepting the Cygnet Hall rowing facility on the Swan River at Crawley and the Exmouth Outdoor Education facility. The School has the most extensive on-site sporting fields of any school in the State.
The School has undergone considerable development in the past 10 years. There has been significant capital invested in new facilities and in refurbishing existing facilities.
Major school building projects recently constructed include the Aquatic Centre, Junior School Art Complex, Junior School Multi-Purpose Hall, the Middle School, the Library/Resource Centre and Classroom Precinct, the Senior School Boarding House and the Bob Ihlen Health Centre.
The School site retains extensive areas of natural vegetation, which maintains the leafy bushland atmosphere of the campus amidst the surrounding suburban housing and developed school areas. The site has considerable scope for future development of the School’s facilities with 16 hectares of unimproved land.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE
The 2015 student attendance rate was 96.50%. This was broken down in year groups as follows:
Year 1: 94.8%
Year 2: 95.4%
Year 3: 97.8%
Year 4: 96.2%
Year 5: 97.7%
Year 6: 96.3%
Year 7: 98.4%
Year 8: 93.3%
Year 9: 91.2%
Year 10: 95.5%
Year 11: 94.6%
Year 12: 94.4%
0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%
Each day, staff note student absences and parents are contacted by 10.00am if there is an unexplained absence. If an acceptable explanation has not been provided, then the issue will be directed to the appropriate Head of School.
If attendance falls below 90%, further investigation will take place and a meeting called with parents and key staff. An attendance improvement plan will be developed and school-based resources provided to support the student and his family.
If a student has been identified as a regular non-attendee and repeated efforts to work with parents to restore attendance have not been successful then the Department of Education will be contacted and a revised attendance improvement plan established.
If all efforts to secure parental engagement and an improvement in school attendance have been unsuccessful, then an alternative education plan will be established for the boy concerned.

THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS
LEGAL FRAMEWORK
The Hale School Act, 1876 (‘the Act’) created ‘The Governors of Hale School’ (usually referred to as ‘the Board of Governors’, or ‘the Board’) as a statutory corporation to be the trustee of a public charitable trust that is to endure in perpetuity for the purpose of the education of boys.
The Act provides that the Board shall consist of 11 members, of whom one shall be the Anglican Archbishop of Perth, five shall be appointed by the Perth Diocesan Trustees and five shall be appointed by the Old Haleians’ Association (Inc). Each term of appointment, with exception of the Archbishop, is five years.
The Board holds all the land and other property of the School as the corporate trustee of the public charitable trust.
The Act states that the entire management and control of the School and of the property held by the Board, is vested in the Board.
The Board has a Board Charter that determines the policies and procedures of meetings of the Board, appointment of Committees and Task Groups, and various aspects of the management and control of the School.

Ensuring that the School’s operations are cost effective and efficient;
Ensuring that the activities of the Board are appropriately communicated to the School Community.

Capital and income surplus to the School’s immediate and long-term requirements may be invested in some form of suitable investment appropriate for the use of trust funds.

RISK MANAGEMENT, FINANCIAL REPORTING & COMPLIANCE
Risk
Hale School has a risk management framework intended to ensure that risks are identified, evaluated, monitored and managed. The framework has been developed to encourage and foster a culture of risk awareness throughout the School at strategic and operational levels. Policies, practices and procedures have been established to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate strategies are in place to mitigate risks, maximise opportunities and reduce our risk profile over time.
Sources of risk identification include existing risk registers, strategic plans, operational plans, checklists, surveys, questionnaires, workshops, focus groups, collaboration with peer schools, past incidents, insurance claims and internal reports.
Furthermore, the School’s Occupational Health and Safety Committee meets quarterly and the School’s auditors regularly report on a risk control area.
Financial reporting
The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 are included in this report.
The operating income for the year was $48.25 million. The primary source of income is the receipt of tuition and boarding fees, which after applying scholarships, bursaries and discounts accounted for 79.8% or $38.5 million of 2015’s recurrent income. Commonwealth and State Government Grants represented 10.9% or $5.25 million and 6.9% or $3.35 million respectively. The $1.15 million balance is derived from trading activities, hiring out of equipment and facilities, and application fees.
The operating expenditure for the year was $46.4 million. Salaried employee expenses at 73.2% or $34 million are the School’s primary expense item.
External use of facilities
The School regularly receives requests to hire or use its facilities, including the John Inverarity Music and Drama Centre, Memorial Hall, the lecture theatre, Senior and Junior School gymnasiums, senior boarding house, Brine House, Aquatic Centre, Cygnet Hall, classrooms and the playing fields. Requests are for commercial, sporting, recreational, social activities or performing arts.
In October 2014, the School introduced a unique learn-to-swim programme for children aged two to12 years in the recently constructed eight-lane, 25m pool. The programme is AustSwim registered and Swim Australia certified, operated with a fee structure set to meet ongoing costs.
The School makes available the use of facilities to numerous community, sporting and not-for-profit groups at minimal or no cost.
