St Philip’s Christian Education is pleased to announce the establishment of a new division - Early and Extended Education - bringing together Saints Academy After-School and Vacation Programs, and Narnia Early Learning under a unified structure.
Previously operating within our Tailored Education Division, Saints Academy will transition into the new division from May 2026. This change reflects natural progressions within our leadership teams and our alignment of values in developing pioneering education programs that prioritise discovery and wonder.
In the creation of Early and Extended Education, our services will work more closely together, share expertise, and deliver a more cohesive experience to our learning communities. Families will benefit from a more integrated approach with very little change to daily operations, and our staff will benefit from greater collaboration within our teams.
We are also grateful to welcome Lea Rule as interim Executive Principal of our Early and Extended Education Division. Lea has previously served as Head of Junior School at Waratah and played a pivotal roles in the early establishments of both Narnia Early Learning and Saints Academy. We look forward to the future of this division with Lea’s exceptional leadership and prayer for the future families we can impact through this change.
