The current Headmaster is Stuart Meade, who replaced Dr John Inverarity in 2003. The current chairman of the Board of Governors is David Aitken. The school has some of the highest enrolment fees in Perth, ranging from AU$ 12 500 to $14 000 for day students, and in excess of $ 35 000 for overseas boarders. HISTORY The school was founded in 1858 by the first Anglican Bishop of Perth , Bishop Hale . Modelled after England 's Public Schools , it was then known as "The High School". It has since been renamed "Hale School" in honour of its founder, and reconstituted under the Hale School Act of the Parliament of Western Australia. The Act states, inter alia, that His Grace the Archbishop Of Perth shall be one of the school's eleven Board Members. The first campus was established at The Cloisters, St George’s Terrace. In 1914 , the School moved to a more spacious site at Havelock Street. Finally, in 1961 , the school relocated to its current 480 000 Sqm premises in Wembley Downs . The school attracted unwanted national attention in 2003 when three 13-year-old girls attending the nearby Presbyterian Ladies' College were caught attempting to sell a homemade Porn video to a group of Hale School boys for $90. {Link without Title} ALUMNI Some prominent Old Haleians include:
