"Wonderful School with Amazing Staff"

I've been so impressed with St Leonard's Primary School. My child has thrived in their year 5 class, especially with the Mixed Martial Arts program. The staff are always approachable and supportive, and it's clear that they genuinely care about each child's development.

"Mixed Feelings about St Leonard's"

We had a mixed experience with St Leonard's. My child was happy in their Year 3 class, but the school's communication could be improved. I also felt that the facilities could be updated more frequently.
