Led by the first Anglican Bishop of Perth, Mathew Blagden Hale, the School began as the Collegiate School for boys, before changing its name to Hale School in 1929.
Bishop Hale was well known for empowering the South Australian Aboriginal people. His legacy was later honoured with Hale School being one of the first schools in the country to offer an Indigenous Scholarship program and an Aboriginal cultural tour to the Kimberley region.
