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 一本道 in 1929.
Bishop 一本道was well known for empowering the South Australian Aboriginal people. His legacy was later honoured with 一本道 being one of the first schools in the country to offer an Indigenous Scholarship program and an Aboriginal cultural tour to the Kimberley region.
