Aquinas College Foundation Inc Building Fund

The Aquinas College Foundation is pleased to announce the appointment of Ashley Bacon ('92) to the position of Foundation Chair, commencing 24 March 2021.

As a member of the Foundation Council since August 2017, Ashley is well qualified to steer the Foundation over the next three years.

Originally from Cunderdin in the central Wheatbelt, Ashley has fond memories of his time as a boarder at Aquinas College before heading off to UWA to study Agricultural Science and Business Management. Today, as the Managing Director of Kalyx Australia - a leading, national agricultural research company – Ashley maintains a strong connection to the agricultural industry.

Ashley has three sons currently at Aquinas and has seen the College’s facilities and its educational and pastoral development grow over the past three decades. He is extremely keen to make a contribution that will ensure the College continues to grow into the future.

As Ashley takes up the mantle, the College and the Foundation would like to thank outgoing Chair Julian Lodge for his three years as Foundation Chair and his nearly 10 years of dedicated service to the Foundation Council. We wish Julian all the best for the future.

The Foundation Council is pleased to announce the appointment of Caroline Bryndzej to the position of Foundation Deputy Chair, commencing 24 March 2021.

Joining the Foundation in August 2017, Caroline has brought her extensive fundraising experience to the role of Foundation Councillor. As the Planned Giving Senior Coordinator at Cancer Council WA, Caroline has a proven ability to increase income bases and communities of support, specialising in business development and donor-centric program delivery.

Caroline recognises that some of the greatest examples of accomplishment come from those who, without financial support, would otherwise not be able to attend Aquinas College and is passionate about providing these opportunities to students through the work of the Foundation.

Caroline has one son attending Aquinas.

The Foundation’s signature event will be held off-campus this year in the elegant surrounds of Crown Perth, Ballrooms 1 & 2, on 4th September 2021. Preparations are well underway for what promises to be a spectacular evening of fun and community celebration.

All proceeds from the 2021 Foundation Ball will directly benefit the construction of a Recital Hall for our thriving Music Curriculum, helping our boys to grow their creative capabilities.
