About our school
At St Leonard’s ¶¶ÒõÆƽâ Primary School we believe in nurturing the whole child—spiritually, academically, socially, and emotionally—while building strong partnerships with families and creating a welcoming and inclusive school community.
St Leonard’s is a vibrant learning community where evidence-based teaching and learning, following the Science of Learning, guide everything we do. Our approach is data-driven, ensuring that each student receives targeted support to achieve their full potential in literacy and numeracy. We are committed to high-quality, research-informed education that supports every child’s growth.
Students enjoy a rich curriculum that includes specialist subjects such as Visual Art, Performing Arts, Sport, Library, and Italian, providing opportunities to develop a wide range of skills and interests. Our supportive and professional staff foster a positive and engaging learning environment.
Community is at the heart of St Leonard’s. Events such as our Welcome BBQ and Movie Night bring families together and help build strong relationships within the school. Sacramental programs are central to our faith life, with Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation celebrated as whole-school events. These celebrations include family nights that invite parents and children to reflect on the significance of each Sacrament and grow in faith together.
