My name is Sean Ward and I am currently the Principal of Orange Grove PS.
My role on the School Board is to keep the Board fully informed of all school operations including supporting the analysis of data and the resulting strategic planning to address areas of need. Ultimately, this intent aligns with department initiatives and to the school’s vision of ensuring we maximise the potential of all students.

I have been a member and Chair of the Orange Grove Primary School Board since February 2024. My son is a current student at the school and our family live in the local area.
I have previously worked as a school administrator in a range of regional and metropolitan schools, and as a coordinator and leader in Government and not-for-profit human services agencies and organisations. My son commencing at Orange Grove PS in 2021 was a large driver in my decision to return to teaching, as I was taken by the enthusiasm and warmth of the staff and the sense of community it exuded.
Our family have a menagerie of animals we provide a home for, including horses, sheep and alpacas. As a former fitness instructor, I enjoy going to the gym and going on family walks with our dogs. I also like reading, reading books, and spending time outdoors.

Professional Experience Coordinator/School of Education Faculty of Humanities Curtin University

I am very excited to be a part of the Orange Grove School Board, commencing in October 2021. I was a Primary School teacher for approximately 15 years and have worked in the School of Education at Curtin University since 2013. My current role is Professional Experience Coordinator, coordinating student placements in primary and secondary settings. I am therefore passionate about education for students at all levels.

I love to spend time with my family, including my two children, one who is in primary school and the other who is about to start secondary school. I play basketball, I am in a book club and often go camping with family and friends.

I have been a teacher at Orange Grove Primary School since 2007, minus a few years off to have two beautiful babies. I am passionate about education, and I love our little school and it’s community. It’s my second home! I am excited to be a part of the OGPS School Board and look forward to developing my understandings of this side of school operations and decision making. When I am not working, I am looking after my own small people, going to the beach, or traveling.

I am Caren, a mum of 3 gorgeous boys, with 2 already receiving their education at OGPS.

We are new to OGPS in 2022, as I was drawn to the school after a visit in my role as a Councillor for the City of Gosnells. I instantly knew my boys would be happy in the wonderful bush surrounds of the school, and the welcoming community feeling from the teachers, parents and students.

I work part-time as pharmacist as well as many hours as an Elected Member. I hope my community connections can benefit the OGPS Board.

In my free time I love gardening and bike riding with my boys.
