School Council

My name is Rasha. I have been with School Council for almost 4 years and enjoyed being part of school council. I have two kids in this school, their names are Charbel and Isabel.

This school has organized spaces purposed for teaching and learning. The classrooms where teachers teach and students learn are of central importance.

My Name is Phillip PERRONI and I am the current School Council President.

I am a co-opted community member of council as I do not have any children at the School.

I first came onto council in 2000 when my eldest daughter commenced school and have been on council continuously since then, firstly as a parent representative and then as community representative.

I have also had the pleasure and honour to be School Council President since I think 2003.

I have lived in Meadow Heights for the past 30 years and have been involved in a few  community organisations during this time. The main one being the Meadow Heights Education Centre.

I am always available to discuss school programs with parents so please approach me.

I look forward to continuing to represent the School Community into the future.

I am passionate about enhancing the school environment and fostering strong community ties.

Hi, I’m Nilay Isdar. I’ve had the privilege of being an educator at Meadow Heights Primary School for 8 years, and I’m excited to serve as a newly appointed member of the school council committee. As a proud former student of Meadow Heights Primary School, it’s incredibly rewarding to return as a teacher and give back to the community that shaped me. I’m deeply committed to fostering community engagement, advocating for cultural diversity, and encouraging intercultural dialogue to promote inclusivity. I actively engage in charity work organising events to support orphans, children on the spectrum and families in need. Beyond my professional career of being a devoted teacher, I am a fitness enthusiast, a leading supporter for women’s rights and an advocate for hiking to support and inspire individuals struggling with mental health. I’m eager to collaborate with the MHPS community to bring about positive change and create a brighter future for our young learners.
