RESULTS OVERVIEW 2021 THE HEADMASTER I am thrilled with the results These final results are a testament to the The 2021 Year 12 cohort has led the School superbly this year and their outstanding final results are a fitting reflection of their dedication to their academic studies. It is a privilege to witness the individual commitment and collective collaboration of our Hale students and staff, as boys achieved success on their diverse chosen paths. The dedication and support of our passionate teachers is the key driver in our academic achievement. The teachers’ rapport developed with each student, coupled with deep content knowledge provide a platform for each boy to thrive. The extension of individual strengths is developed throughout their time at Hale through varied curriculum options, external competitions, expert pastoral support and numerous academic co-curricular options. Student participation in after-hours academic programmes was at a record high in 2021, indicative of our strong academic culture. The popular Hale58 programme continues to deliver excellent after-school support for volunteered to provide regular revision sessions throughout the year, with external WACE Plus seminars and Senior Tutor programmes providing further opportunities to develop understanding. It is worth highlighting the many individual challenges boys met this year. I would like to acknowledge their personal resilience and the support of their peers, staff and the wider Hale community to help achieve their goals. We are very proud of all our students’ achievements and wish them well in their future endeavours. Raymond Hill Director of Curriculum from our Year 12 boys, released earlier this week. The Year 12 ATAR results make up the final part of this cohort’s excellent achievements for the year. As I said on Speech Day, this has been an incredibly strong group of boys. It is commendable that they have achieved the outcomes they have on top of all the other commitments they made to the wider cocurricular programme of the School. I am full of admiration for each boy and his determination to keep working hard, even when many had early university offers and other assured pathway options. Our CareerLink and alternative pathway programmes, while not needing a final examination, also show a high degree of achievement. They too have secured an excellent pathway next year with or without a university placement. strong learning culture that exists at Hale. Once again, our outstanding staff have supported these boys to gain some of the best results in the State and this country. I do take this opportunity to thank all of our staff for their professionalism and individual care of the boys. My thanks also to all Year 12 parents and guardians as the partnership between boys, school and home remains key to this success. Positive role models are so critical for boys and my hope is that the younger boys (not just those going into Year 12) will want to read about these outcomes and aspire to do the same when they enter the senior years. Even though we are this close to Christmas, I did not want to let the moment pass, so please enjoy this snapshot with your whole family of what our boys have collectively and individually achieved this year.
