I am proud to be part of a school community I’ve called home since 2020. I believe every child deserves to feel valued, supported, and challenged to achieve their personal best. Building strong relationships with students is central to creating a safe and engaging learning environment where curiosity is encouraged, confidence grows, and individual strengths are celebrated. 

I recognise the vital role our wider community plays in a child’s education. I am committed to fostering strong partnerships with families and community members, working together to support each student’s learning journey. Collaboration sits at the heart of my approach to leadership, and I value open communication, shared goals, and a collective commitment to creating a positive, inclusive, and forward-thinking school where everyone belongs and can succeed. 

As a resident of the area since 2017, both my children have spent their entire school life at BCPS.  The school is a key part of the community, and I’ve met so many great people through it.  Joining the Board has enabled me to give back to our amazing community.

The Board vision this year is to increase our visibility to the wider school community, so please do come and speak to me or any other Board member if you have anything you’d like to raise.  Whilst we cannot solve every issue, hopefully we know where you can go and the more voices we hear the better we are able to effectively represent parents. 

I have been a member of the BCPS community since 2020 with daughters Violette (yr4) and Josie (yr1). 

Joining the board as a parent representative in 2024, I am now vice chair and have been an active board member for the past 2 years.

Living in the Lynwood community for the past 10years and a 2min walk across the road to BCPS has allowed Stacy to advocate for current and future parents, pupils and residents living around the school. 

As a busy working mum, I also bring my professional skills and knowledge as a learning and development consultant for Western Power to the board table.

I have been an active driver in the continuous improvement in school communications and am looking forward to working with the school administration to implement this new policy in the near future.

I’m really honoured to have been a part of the BCPS Board for the past five years and am extremely impressed at how our school continues to go from strength to strength every year. It’s important for student development and learning that their school is connected to the local community and as a Councillor and the Deputy Mayor at the City of Canning I try to further this partnership through the board. I’m also a high school teacher and am very proud to have my daughter attending BCPS.

My name is Katherine Haw, and I have recently joined the Bannister Creek Primary School community. I have been made to feel most welcome by staff, children and families, and am happy to be apart of a very inclusive and supportive team. I am a passionate Early Childhood teacher in my 28^th year of teaching. I moved over to WA from England 12 years ago with my family and we thoroughly enjoy the lifestyle over here. I feel privileged to join the Bannister Creek School Board and am excited to share my perspectives and expertise from over 20 years of serving on school boards.

Maddy Southey is a Year 3 teacher at Bannister Creek Primary School and has been part of the school community since 2022.

I am a parent of a daughter in Lower Primary and enjoy being actively involved in her school community. I bring nearly 20 years’ experience in education, including work as a primary and secondary teacher as well as a sessional academic at university level. As someone from a culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) background, I have a strong interest in promoting inclusion, equity, and culturally responsive practices in schools. I am motivated to contribute positively to my daughter’s school life and help shape the future of BCPS through board involvement.
