Four years running 🙌

Congratulations to PSO Chief Executive Catherine Henwood on her fourth consecutive inclusion in the Power 500, Western Australia's definitive list of leaders and influencers.

We're equally proud to see PSO Board Director Mark Reed recognised among WA's most influential political leaders, ranked #4 in the category.

Two leaders. Two well-deserved honours. One powerful reminder that arts, culture and community play a vital role in shaping Western Australia.

Thank you to Business News WA for recognising leadership across every sector and for championing the people helping drive our state forward.

REAF ‘26 // Part 01

What a weekend 👏

3 days, 2 schools, 2 rehearsals, 4 performances, 1 impromptu pub singalong, 1 drum kit catastrophe and countless memories.

From school halls to community stages, our musicians spent the weekend sharing music, stories and plenty of laughs across Karratha, Wickham and Roebourne.

❤️‍🔥 Bucket drums. Choirs. Rock anthems. A pop-up Irish pub session. Workshops where even the 4-year-olds got behind the kit. Cultural dance, golden-hour soundchecks and moments of connection at every turn.

This is just part 01, stay tuned!

Thanks to the 💖

Fiona + Fiona on 9 News Perth!
We had the privilege of sitting down with Fiona Stanley at home, as Nine joined us to hear what this upcoming performance means to her.

“I am going to be surprised… she’s got footage of stuff that I’ve never seen…” — Fiona Stanley

That’s the magic of WA Stories.

For every story, our Creative Director Fiona Campbell spends 150 to 200 hours uncovering the moments behind the legacy. Archival footage. Family memories. Untold stories. The triumphs, heartbreaks and turning points that shaped a life, woven into a live experience that feels deeply human.

Huge thanks to Nine Perth for the beautiful coverage 😍

Fiona Stanley is many things. Australian of the Year. Public health reformer. The Kids Research Institute Australia founder. UNICEF Australia Ambassador. The woman who helped place Western Australia at the forefront of child health research worldwide.

And yet, she’ll still tell you she was once a painfully shy schoolgirl walking the halls of St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls.

For the first time in WA Stories history, Perth Symphony is taking a story beyond the walls of the museum and back to where it all began.

In a special partnership with St Hilda's and St Hilda’s Old Scholars Association celebrating the School’s 130th anniversary, Story 7: Fiona Stanley will travel to the magnificent Joy Shepherd Performing Arts Centre, for one extraordinary night only.

The stage where young women now dream about their futures will become the setting for the story of one who changed the future for countless others.

✨ A powerful homecoming
✨ A living legend
✨ One unforgettable evening of music and storytelling

🎟️ Tickets on sale Tuesday 19 May. With limited capacity across all performances, early booking is strongly recommended.

Surprise. Joy. Laughter. Those were the reactions, and that's all we're going to say for now…

Our deepest thanks to Tony and Corinne Barton, Barton Family Foundation, for so generously opening the doors of their home. And to Voyager Estate, for keeping the evening flowing 🍷

To every guest who joined us in celebrating what's ahead, thank you.
