St Leonard's College is an independent co-educational school in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Located in Brighton East, the school caters for students in all year levels from ELC for three-year-olds to Year 12.
St Leonard's was the first school in Victoria, and second in Australia, to offer the International Baccalaureate in addition to the more widely used Victorian Certificate of Education. The school is also authorised to offer the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme in the Junior School from ELC to Year 4. The ELC also uses the Reggio Emilia approach to learning.
St Leonard's College is located in Brighton East, Melbourne, Australia. The school is in close proximity to Port Phillip Bay and 11 kilometres south east of the Central Business District.
Facilities include a theatre, Visual Arts Centre, music centre, Junior, Years 5 and 6, Middle and Senior School buildings, a modern sports centre with heated indoor swimming centre, gymnasium, dance and aerobics studio, basketball and netball courts, tennis courts and playing fields.
St Leonard’s College has a "bring your own device" (BYOD) technology program. Students in the middle years bring their own iPad to school every day while students in the senior years are able to bring any device of their choosing as long as it meets some very general specifications.
In tandem with the BYOD program, the school runs a comprehensive online content management system, named STL Link, to provide its student, teacher and parent community with a wide range of learning and co-curriculum resources. STL Link includes classroom learning resources, assessment material, cocurriculum resources, subscribable calendars, student timetables, student reports, class blogs and staff contact information.
Students in the middle years also use interactive electronic textbooks and an electronic diary system which enables teachers to push homework into their students diaries. They also maintain their own online electronic work portfolios.
While the BYOD program enables most students to complete all of their digital learning, the school also have computers where required. Students studying Information Technology, Media and Visual Design do so using the school owned computers and software.
St Leonard's College is widely recognised in educational circles as a centre of excellence in eLearning and is regularly visited by other schools to learn from their success.
In 2012, St Leonard's College launched the Hart Theatre Company, named after long-time drama teacher Roma Hart. The College hosts five productions a year: a year 5/6 musical, Middle School play, Middle School musical, Senior School play and Senior School musical. Recent productions have included Hairspray, Peter Pan, Romeo & Juliet, Mulan, The Wizard of Oz, Annie, Oliver!, The Ruling Class, Invisible Friends, Barnum, Amadeus, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Bugsy Malone, Wind in the Willows, Sweet Charity and Beauty and the Beast.
