In a rapidly changing and interconnected world, success has never been more strongly linked to the ability to navigate the deluge of information at our fingertips. Through our academic programs we develop the necessary skills which allow our students to confidently engage with the world around them.
Our Academic Executive and Curriculum team promote a culture of high expectations and accountability among teachers, students and families, and develop targeted learning programs to enable students to achieve their learning potential.
Our scholastic models and teaching methods are informed by the very best research, data, resources and educational organisations in the world including; Harvard Graduate School of Education, Headmasters and Headmistresses Council (HMC, UK), Grattan Institute, McKinsey and Associates, and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Â鶹´«Ã½AV was the only Australian school invited to engage in the OECD 2030 project ¨C The Future of Education. This project is focussed on the development of curriculum and pedagogical practice to address the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that today¡¯s students will need to thrive in the increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world.
High Potential Learning
Our programs provide advanced enrichment activities and personalised mentorship, empowering students to explore and excel in their passions.
Through a broad array of local, state, national and international opportunities along with state-of-the-art resources, students develop critical skills and creativity. Fostering collaboration and leadership, St Leonard’s prepares our students for future success in STEM, arts, humanities, and beyond. Committed to unlocking every student’s potential, we ensure they are equipped with the confidence and abilities to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Learning Enhancement
Some students have specific learning needs and our dedicated Learning Enhancement teachers use a series of age-appropriate strategies to ensure all students receive the support they need to access the curriculum and experience success. We utilise diagnostic testing to identify individual strengths and areas for growth, implementing tailored intervention programs to ensure every child thrives.
Through collaborative teaching approaches and ongoing professional development, our teachers empower students to excel academically and personally. We offer a nurturing environment where?every learner is?supported, challenged, and inspired to achieve their best.
House Life
All students from Prep to Year 12 are assigned to one of the six Houses upon their commencement at the College including Allen, Cullen, Forster, McMeekin, Munro and Newman.
Together in their House groups, students are offered many opportunities through a wide range of social action initiatives, events, competitions and leadership positions.?
Futures Program
As our students near the end of their schooling journey and prepare to embark on new adventures and opportunities, our Futures Program allows our students to feel confident about their career possibilities beyond the College gates.
We want to ensure that every student is supported both academically and personally in their career development. We aspire to achieve this by hosting our annual Futures Expo, a variety of ‘Shape Your Future’ seminars, a range of open sessions with representatives from multiple higher education institutions and much more.
