For example, in his biography of explorer and politician Sir John Forrest, Frank Crowley described the school's values throughout the 1870s as "a heady compound of social snobbery, laissez-faire capitalism, sentimental royalism, patriotic Anglicanism, benevolent imperialism and racial superiority".

"[14]Bishop Hale's Collegiate School occupied buildings designed by Richard Roach Jewell in 1858 and situated on St Georges Terrace.

In 1914, the school moved to a more spacious site at Havelock Street, West Perth, opposite the Parliament of Western Australia.

The administration building, Memorial Hall (including the redfoot youth theatre), Tom Hoar Dining Hall, Stowe Drama Centre, Forrest Library, Chapel of St Mark, cafeteria, clothing store, IT department and Old Haleians' Boardroom are all located on the south west corner of the campus near the main entrance.

The John Inverarity Music and Drama Centre is located on the western side of the campus facing Unwin Avenue.

The senior boarding house is located on the eastern side of the campus while the sports playing fields occupy the north east.

The new Teaching and Learning precinct on the site of the old boarding houses near the south entrance to the campus was officially opened on 1 July 2009.

The main feature of this project, a new Library Resource Centre includes a dedicated Year 12 study area and Gifted and Talented and Curriculum Support rooms facing a central courtyard.

Also included in this precinct are a new cafeteria with internal and external seating opposite the library and a new Teaching and Learning building.

Another important feature is a set-down and pick-up road that runs from a new 50-bay carpark adjacent to the chapel, along the front of the classroom block, past the Library undercroft, before rejoining the main drive.

The centrepiece of the complex is the timber-lined recital auditorium which accommodates 353 patrons on stepped tiers with a flat performance area 17 m wide and 12 m deep.

The ceiling loft is mechanised with 27 variable speed automatic winch lines which give a great degree of flexibility for a range of shows.

The middle school site is located adjacent to Unwin Avenue, between the John Inverarity Music and Drama Centre and the Memorial Hall.

The new building replaced the 'C-block' classrooms and Senior School Library that previously occupied the site and were demolished in December 2008.

All buildings have open areas, called 'breakout spaces', where students can work together in small groups or presentations can be held.

[21] Hale School campus includes various sporting facilities, including:[22] In 1885, the school entered a team into the West Australian Football Association (WAFA) for its inaugural season, but were forced to withdraw two rounds into the season due to a lack of players.

The school hosted the English Cricket Academy, including international cricketers Michael Vaughan, Owais Shah, Stuart Broad, Rikki Clarke and Jon Lewis for nets sessions and practice matches, as seen on the front page of The West Australian on 29 November 2006.

A Memorial Grove at the school site honours these men with 124 plaques and a sculpture with an "eternal flame" theme.

A small museum display is also located at the Old Hale School, now the Constitutional Centre of Western Australia, on Havelock Street, West Perth.
