SHARON MORRIS
I am a parent of two children at the
school, Harrison in year 1 and Althea in
year 5. I’ve been an active member of the
Beaconsfield Primary School P&C for
some time now as well as working in the
canteen and supporting the Quiz Night
fundraisers.
My professional background as a social
worker led to previous board experience,
mostly at The Women’s Legal Centre.
Over the last few years I’ve been an
advocated for disability, primarily autism,
and have an understanding of behavioural
interventions, including positive
behaviours support.
Thank you for your consideration.

ANNE-SOPHIE DELEFLIE JASON BEELEY
My name is
Alison Luobikis
and I would like
to
be
considered for a
position on the
inaugural
Beaconsfield Primary School Board. I believe
that there is great opportunity to enhance
our school community and build on the
excellence that has been established over
almost 125 years. I also think that I can
make a valuable contribution in this
journey. I am a working Mum, striving to
achieve that work/life balance whilst being a
positive role model to my daughter. In my
professional life I work in Business
Performance/Business
Improvement,
developing and delivering on a governance
structure that is being matured in an Alliance
between Water Corporation and the
Programmed Group across the Perth
Region. This work sees me working right
across the business from the field crews, to
the Supervisory and Management Teams,
right up to the Corporate Executive Teams of
both organisations , and ultimately the
Boards. I have a passion for continuous
improvement and the development of
initiatives to make real change. I am also
passionate about the demonstration of
performance and particularly the delivery of
value for money, efficiency and effectiveness
and am most satisfied when I can deliver
something at the cutting edge. I believe
these skills can translate well to a school
board setting.
In my personal life I am passionate about
giving my daughter, Georgia, all of the
opportunities to be the very best person she
can possibly be – academically, as an
individual and as a member of a
community. Georgia is in Year 1 and just at
the start of her school life. I am keen that
her time at Beaconsfield builds a solid
foundation and allows her both to excel
academically but also be part of a nurturing
and respectful community. During our first
year at Beaconsfield, our family has been
keen to get involved, attending P&C
meetings, assisting at school events and
always ready to be part of cake stalls, play
dough sales and other school events. I find
the idea of being part of the Beaconsfield
Primary School Board and assisting to shape
it’s future an exciting thought and I would
love to be part of it.
My name is Richard Bostwick. I am a
committed resident of Beaconsfield and
wish to be considered for a position on
the board, as I believe that a school
should be a healthy and strong
component of any community.
My daughter began kindergarten this year
and I see myself as having a long term
commitment to the school as this is the
start of my little one’s formal educational
journey.
I also have two older daughters who have
just finished their primary school years.
My professional background is in nursing
and I have worked in a variety of health
care settings in the UK and Australia. My
experience has been both as a clinician
and senior leader and manger. A large
proportion of my leadership roles have
been in the area of managing change and
the implementation of governance
structures
to
support
healthy
organisations.
For the last 6 years I have been working in
the university sector as a senior lecturer
and researcher and am currently working
in such a role at the University of Notre
Dame, Fremantle.
My PhD focused on the impact and
effectiveness of support systems to those
engaged in tertiary education and made
recommendations for the measurement
of effective service provision. Essentially
how do we provide a safe and healthy
place for people to learn?
I believe students need to be well
supported, happy and inquiring thus
enabling them to receive a sound
education. This in turn provides a strong
basis equipping them to contribute to our
fantastic vibrant community.
With my experience outlined above and
my passion for pastoral care I feel that I
am well suited to contribute to the school
community.
My name is AnneSophie
Deleflie.
David and I have two
boys at Beaconsfield:
George (Year 2) and
Yannick (PP). We
have been actively
involved
in
the
school since 2012.
I have been a regular
at P&C meetings since late 2013.
Currently, I am part of the Project Team
working to develop Jenkins St into a
Nature Play area - an experience I have
thoroughly enjoyed.
My background is working as a lawyer,
and
in
policy
and
community
development. I have worked across the
community sector, for industry and in
government. I have been a board member
of community organisations (women’s
refuge, drug/alcohol service and various
community legal centres).
I migrated to Australia aged 10, coming
from a non-English speaking background.
My areas of interest, which I believe
should be represented on the board are:
Learning differences: Ensuring our school
provides an environment in which all
types of learners can thrive and reach
their full potential, by working smarter,
not harder.
Use of Technology: Technological
advances provide a powerful tool in
schools. Ensuring our school develops
policies and practices to harness the best
of learning through technology and to be
aware of its limitations.
Play opportunities: Ensuring our school
values the opportunities for learning and
personal development through unstructured play and creativity in a childled environment.
I would be honoured to serve on the
Board and advocate on behalf of families
who share my areas of interest, and to
share my skills/experience to ensure good
governance.
I’m Jason Beeley, current Chair of the
School Council. All three of my children
are at Beacy – Lexie in Kindy, Harry in Year
1 and Freddie in Year 4. That means I have
been part of our school community for a
while and still have quite a few years to
look forward to. School is big part of my
children’s lives. I figure it is better to get
actively involved and do what I can to
make it a happy and bustling place for
them to learn and grow.
I have been on the School Council for the
last two years, and have been Chair for
the last 18 months. Over that time I
worked closely with John and the rest of
the Council to make sure Beacy
successfully became an Independent
Public School. I would really like to stay
involved and help the school make the
most of the opportunities that going IPS
offers.
In my day job I am Assistant Auditor
General for Performance Audit at the WA
Auditor General’s Office. I have skills and
experience in governance, accountability
and managing risk, and assessing and
measuring the performance of public
services, including education. It also
means I have experience dealing with
bureaucracies and bureaucrats.
For me, being on the Board means being a
constant advocate for the school and
doing the best for every child at the
school. I believe that the diversity in our
school is a great strength around which
we build a community, and I want to
make sure that everyone in that
community is engaged and informed
about how our school is run, and how we
make it better.
