Message from the Principal
St Narsai is an independent, Christian co-educational school (years K-12). Our school was established in 2006 by His Eminence Mar Meelis Zaia AM to cater for the needs of students from the local Assyrian community as well as students from other communities and backgrounds.
Our students contribute to a vibrant and inspiring campus that is filled with state-of-the-art facilities and boasts contemporary designed learning spaces. Our staff are skilled educators and leaders of learning, committed to improving learning outcomes for all students by engaging and motivating them to achieve their personal best.
We offer a rigorous academic curriculum as well as a strong pastoral care program imbued with a focus on faith development and prayer. Our authentic wellbeing programs, run by pastoral care teachers and Year Coordinator’s, ensure that students are always supported throughout their learning journey.
St Narsai’s curriculum is designed to develop our students into engaged and critical thinkers, well equipped to deal with the challenges of the 21st century. Our students and staff use contemporary digital technologies to enhance and broaden students’ learning experiences.
We also offer an extensive range of extracurricular activities that encourage our students to explore new areas of interest, develop new friendships and extend their learning beyond the classroom.
By fostering a sense of family within St Narsai, we have created a safe and supportive environment for our students to flourish in, and by regularly engaging with the wider community, we show our students the importance of respect, human dignity and compassion in life.
