Future Students

All students and parents/carers are encouraged to attend our Year 7 2027 Information Evening, which will be held on Tuesday, 15 September, from 6-7pm.

This session will give you an introduction and overview of school life at St Leo’s, including our high school transition program, details for the first few days and weeks, our many co-curricular opportunities, basic College requirements and expectations, policies and procedures, and much more.

It will be held in The Light of Christ Centre (TLOCC), off  the end of Yardley Avenue, Waitara. Further information will be sent by email to all 2027 families soon, including an agenda, parking and access information.

Parents and carers – here is your chance to meet other families from your area starting at St Leo’s in 2027 in a casual setting, over a cup of coffee or tea – or as we are calling it, a ‘Cup of Connection’.

Many of our wonderful CSBB (Catholic Schools Broken Bay) feeder schools will be hosting morning teas especially to give parents and carers of students starting at St Leo’s in 2027 the opportunity to meet each other and key St Leo’s staff before they begin at the College. Parents and carers from ALL SCHOOLS are welcome – not just the host school or other Catholic schools.

Please RSVP to as many as you would like to attend – and invite any others you know also starting with us in 2027.
