Nikita Newalker

Parent Governor (Parent Voice)

Date of appointment: September 2018

Since joining the Metropole family in 2014 as one of the founding parents, Mrs. Nikita Newalkar has been a driving force behind the school’s vibrant and inclusive community spirit. A proud mother of two daughters—one currently thriving in Year 11 and the other a distinguished Metropole alumna now in her final year of university—Mrs. Newalkar’s journey with the school spans more than a decade of dedication, leadership, and heartfelt involvement.

Over the past nine years, she has played a central role in the Parent Ambassador team, holding multiple leadership positions including Events Coordinator, Treasurer, Vice Chair, and Chairperson. Whether organising memorable school-wide events, fostering parent engagement, or working behind the scenes to support school initiatives, she has always been fueled by a deep passion for enhancing the experience of students, staff, and families alike.

Armed with a B.Sc. in Dietetics and an M.Sc. in Food Science and Nutrition, Mrs. Newalkar previously built a successful career as a university lecturer, researcher, and clinical dietitian. Today, she channels that same drive and expertise into her full-time role as a homemaker and devoted volunteer, bringing warmth, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to every project she takes on.

Her enthusiasm is infectious, her contributions immeasurable, and her presence a cherished asset to the Metropole community.
