Our Year 8 Drama Enrichment students brought the Cygnet Theatre precinct to life with an evening of original devised theatre, taking family and friends on a journey through a series of unique performances.

From concept to curtain call, the boys developed, rehearsed and refined their own performances before taking to the stage. It was a fantastic opportunity for the young performers to build confidence, embrace creativity and experience the energy of live theatre firsthand!

Our Year 7 students stepped back in time last Friday for an action-packed afternoon in Ancient Greece!

Dressed as Greek warriors and Athenian politicians, the boys were surprised by a very special performance from their own Year 7 teachers before heading to Craig Oval to re-enact the Battle of Marathon.

A fun and memorable introduction to their upcoming History topic!

We are delighted to welcome Dr Luara Ferracioli from the University of Sydney as Hale School’s Philosopher in Residence this week.

Dr Ferracioli has been engaging with our senior Philosophy classes and philosophy clubs, challenging students to think critically and deeply about a range of contemporary issues.

On Wednesday evening, she will deliver a free public lecture at Hale exploring the topic of depopulation and the ethical complexities around potential solutions. It promises to be a fascinating and thought-provoking discussion.

Dr Ferracioli also spoke with Nadia Mitsopoulos at ABC Perth this morning about the topic. Listen to the interview here: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/perth-mornings/mornings/107089108

This year's Book Week celebrations at the Forrest Library were packed with books, creativity and a touch of W***y Wonka magic. Students took part in the Golden Ticket Question of the Day and the Splendiferously Gargantuan W***y Wonka Golden Ticket Hunt, where they had to answer questions to find tickets hidden in books. Budding artists also created beautiful keepsakes during our Bookmark Making session.

There was plenty of excitement for book lovers with the Battle of the Bookworms Book Trivia, where students tested their literary knowledge in a rather raucous yet fun event. We also held the eagerly awaited annual Read to Your Pet Day, which celebrates the joy of reading aloud, with students reading to our teachers’ pets.

Throughout the week, the library buzzed with enthusiasm as students discovered new stories, shared favourite books and celebrated the magic of reading together.

A huge thank you to all the students who joined in the fun and helped make Book Week 2026 such a memorable celebration. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!

Our Year 6 students are looking pretty awesome in their new 2026 shirts!

The student-led design process saw the Year 6 Leadership Group gather ideas from across the year before narrowing them down to three final designs. Every Year 6 student then had the chance to vote for their favourite.

The winning design features three swans, representing the three Year 6 classes, with a bold stripe symbolising the boys’ journey into Senior School and beyond. The pattern is also inspired by the distinctive architectural moulding of Memorial Hall, connecting the boys’ next chapter with Hale’s heritage.
