Meet Penelope, All Saints’ College’s Director of Junior School and our kind-hearted leader.
Penelope is on a mission to make every child's early years count, championing play-based learning and the circle of security model to lay a strong foundation for their thriving future.
You’ll find Penelope starting her days with a yoga routine or a walk at the park with her furry friend, Bimba, kicking off the day with a burst of energy and gratitude. Her heart truly sings when surrounded by her family, especially her grandchildren. And when she's not spreading joy at home or cooking up delicious, fresh meals in the kitchen, she's dreaming of her next adventure, with India topping her travel bucket list.
Meet Kylie, our Little Saints Director and resident environmental champion.
Kylie believes that spending her days with children is not only a privilege, but an adventure filled with joy and wonder. As deeply committed to the learning journey of our Little Saints community as she is to her latest creative hobby, Kylie brings her love of learning and playful spirit to everything she does.
Kylie’s trusty sidekicks include four chickens and Fish (who is a dog, not a fish). Her passion for sustainability and love for the outdoors sees her tearing up the trails on a mountain bike or lounging under the stars in a cozy swag. When Kylie isn’t busy getting her hands dirty in nature or sparking imaginations, you will find her cherishing time with family and friends – including her seven nieces and nephews!
With a heart as big as the great outdoors, Kylie infuses her adventurous and creative spirit into her work with our own little explorers.

When she's not sculpting young minds, you'll find Tania soaking up the warmth of her large Italian family or with friends at cozy cafés.
