About us
LEARNING TOGETHER
Principal’s Welcome
Welcome to St Leonards Primary School.
At St Leonards, we are proud to be a South Australian Department for Education school, committed to providing a high-quality, inclusive and engaging education for every student. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive in a safe, supportive and inspiring environment.
St Leonards has a proud history and a strong connection to its local community. Our school name reflects this heritage, as the suburb now known as Glenelg North was originally called St Leonards until 1953. While the suburb name changed, the school proudly retained its original name, honouring its history and preserving an important link to the local area’s identity and story. This sense of continuity and belonging remains an important part of who we are as a school community.
At St Leonards the students are at the centre of everything we do. We offer a wide range of learning opportunities designed to support the academic, social and emotional development of every child. Alongside strong programs in literacy and numeracy, students have access to rich learning across the arts, science, technologies, physical education and wellbeing. We also value the importance of extra-curricular opportunities, including sport, choir, instrumental music, student leadership, lunch clubs, camps, excursions and community involvement, which help students discover their interests, build confidence and develop important lifelong learning skills.
One of the great strengths of St Leonards is our strong sense of community. We value the partnerships we share with families, caregivers and the wider community, and we know that students achieve their best when home and school have a strong connection. Our school is a welcoming place where relationships matter, diversity is respected and every child is known, valued and supported.
At the heart of all we do are our school values of Respect, Resilience and Readiness. These values guide our learning, our behaviour and the way we connect with one another each day. We encourage our students to show respect for themselves, others and their environment, to demonstrate resilience when facing challenges, and to come to school ready to learn and ready to contribute.
We invite you to explore our website and book a school tour to discover what makes St Leonards Primary School such a special place to thrive and learn.
