There are currently approximately 830 students enrolled at St Leo’s. 

St Leo’s is a located on six hectares in Wahroonga on Sydney’s Upper North Shore. Just off the M1 Motorway exit and near the Pennant Hills Road and Pacific Highway junction, we are only a short walk from Waitara train station.

St Leo’s is very proud to be an inclusive community with students and staff from a wide range of backgrounds, including non-Catholic and non-religious backgrounds. However, what we all share is a commitment to common ‘catholic values’ – as emphasised in our mission statement to develop ‘Catholic-valued’ women and men of conscience.

While we do give priority to students from our CSBB priority feeder schools, we welcome applications from students/families with catholic and non-catholic backgrounds. If accepted into St Leo’s however, it is expected that all students fully participate in all College religious activities including the Religious Education Curriculum (7-12), College Masses, camp and retreats, etc. We run a Catholic education College for ALL!

For students from CSBB Priority Feeder Schools, please complete the online form under Priority Feeder Schools on the Enrolment and Fees page.

For all other applicants, please read the Enrolment section and download an Enrolment Form 2020.  Please include copies of most the student’s recent school report, NAPLAN and other documents as outlined in the document checklist to ensure the expediency of your application. St Leo’s no longer charges an application fee.
