St. Leos Open Evening Ambassadors assembled in reception before open evening commenced last Thursday
On Thursday 26th of September St. Leo’s College was delighted to open its doors to prospective students and their families. Every subject area was represented and allowed incoming students to gather information about St. Leo’s ethos, facilities, programs and curricula. Open evening is a valuable opportunity for parents and guardians to explore the campus most particularly our new hockey pitch which was floodlit for the evening.
There were vibrant music and stage performances showcasing the many opportunities for students to develop their performance skills. Our gym and new hockey pitch hosted just a selection of the many sporting activities available in St. Leo’s College. The school library was a hive of activity. Our public speaking, debating, language clubs and many more were represented on the night.
