Miriam Codognotto

Chair of the Board

Miriam has lived in Central Victoria for over twenty years with her husband. They have two boys, one studying at Highview College, the other in local primary school. The choice of Highview College was based on an agreement with the College’s core values. Small class sizes and good facilities were a bonus. Miriam is a qualified town planner who has worked for over twenty years in Local Government, but now works in private practice. She also holds post graduate qualifications in Management and Community Planning and Development. Serving is an important part of Miriam’s life and she currently serves as board members with the local primary school and her church.
