Alex Dighton

Alex is a dad, a former teacher, and a local from Hallett Cove representing your community in Parliament.

Alex has committed his professional life to creating a sense of community through his roles as a local teacher, Wellbeing Leader, the Head of Sacred Heart Middle School, and now as the State Member Parliament for the electorate of Black.

Alex’s roles at Sacred Heart College enabled him to focus on delivering what is best for his students’ wellbeing so they can focus on learning. That’s why Alex made Sacred Heart College as one of the first to switch phones off while school is on, a move we now see being rolled out in all public schools along with a nation leading ban on social media.

Now as the Member for Black, Alex is continuing this work to deliver change beyond the school gate. Alex wants all kids and future leaders to feel part of a community that gets things done. Alex wants what is best for this community.
