My name is Stephen Boon and I am currently the Principal of Orange Grove PS. Prior to accepting the position at Orange Grove PS, I was Principal/Educational Leader of a number of schools in the metropolitan and country locations including, West Beechboro PS, Laverton District High School and Eddystone PS comprising of mainstream and an Intensive English Centre.

During this time, my wife and I have raised three children, all of which are now teaching at various schools across the state. These days I take great joy in my grandchildren, reading and remaining physically fit and active.

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.

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.
