It was wonderful to welcome some of our Young Haleians back to campus this week for the Conversations with an Old Boy session.

These lunchtime workshops give Year 10 students the opportunity to hear firsthand from recent graduates about their experiences at Hale and life beyond school.

Thank you for generously sharing your time, experiences and advice with the next generation of Young Haleians.

Congratulations to Young Haleians, Axel Wood and Nick Daly, both from the Class of 2025, whose artwork features in the 2026 Pulse exhibition at The Art Gallery of Western Australia - AGWA.

An outstanding achievement and wonderful recognition of their creativity and talent. The exhibition is free and open to the public until September.

It was a great evening at the PavBar in Brisbane last Thursday for the OHA Brisbane sundowner.

Hale School Headmaster, Dean Dell’Oro was grateful to attend and catch up with many of our Queensland-based Old Boys. Thanks to everyone who came along and helped make the evening such a success!

FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hale School made history in 1908 with the establishment of the first school Army Cadet Corps in Western Australia. The program later expanded with the introduction of the Air Training Corps in 1947 and the Naval Cadet Corps in 1960.

From 1914 and for many decades that followed, cadets were a compulsory part of school life, supporting boys to develop leadership, self-reliance and social responsibility through activities such as field navigation, bushcraft, first aid, radio training, shooting, bivouacking and annual camps.

Changing circumstances saw the ATC disband in 1963 and the Naval Cadets in 1966. When cadets became voluntary in 1973 and federal funding ceased, the Hale School Army Cadet Unit also disbanded in 1975.

This important history is now on display in Hale School's main administration foyer, featuring the 1908 cadet photograph, TS Cygnet logbook and training manual, swagger sticks, shoulder flashes and a 1975 ceremonial parade program.

Old Boys are warmly invited to share memories or contribute memorabilia to help preserve this significant chapter of Hale’s story.

Congratulations to Young Haleian, Indie Oakley (2023), who was recently named Civil Apprentice of the Year by the CCFWA. A fantastic achievement and a sign of exciting things ahead for Indie!
