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.
