Activities beyond the classroom are an essential part of a student’s holistic development. We provide an array of co-curricular activities designed to introduce students to a variety of challenges and experiences, and allow them to extend themselves in areas of interest and passion.

Debating and Public Speaking

Debating and public speaking develop student skills in critical and creative thinking, reasoning and persuasion. St Leo’s competes in the Catholic Schools Debating Association (CSDA) competition, as well as a number of other public speaking competitions.

Sports

St Leo’s has a strong sporting culture, with our weekly Sport for Life program and tiered opportunities for talented athletes to progress to higher representative levels including national and international. We are also proud of our new partnership with Liverpool FC International Academy as a Skill Development Centre, exclusive to St Leo’s students and our Priority Feeder primary schools.

Additionally, the College offers an impressive 20 co-curricular CAPA Ensembles (free to all St Leo’s students) and our specialist Private Music Tuition Program. See CAPA
