Meet the Director

Clementina Perera

Centre Director

I am Clementina Perera, originally from Sri Lanka. I lived in New Zealand for almost 18 years. I completed my Bachelor of Teaching in NZ in 2009 and since then I was working as an ECT teacher, Head Teacher/Room Leader and a Centre Director.

I have two children Kyla 7 years and Cayle 5 years. My husband and I are always open to new opportunities which made us take the decision of moving to Melbourne. I am originally from Sri Lanka and I have many friends who live in Melbourne even though my parents and siblings live in New Zealand.

I am looking forward to exploring and grow my career as a leader with Hei Schools and looking forward to work with your beautiful children and families.
