Our mission is to encourage

“An active and healthy education for life!”

At St Leonard’s College, the Health Sports and Exercise Science

(HSES) faculty includes both academic (curricular)

and non-academic (cocurricular) programs.

The non-academic programs are separated into:

• compulsory team sports, consisting of training and competition

against other schools; and,

• non-compulsory sports, known as “community sport”

This provides students with a wide variety of activities,

both within the school program and outside of the regular program.

Parents, Old Collegians, and members of the broader community

are also provided with opportunities to participate in activities

within the community sport programs which include swimming,

gym and yoga.

Students also have the opportunity to try activities including yoga,

pilates, boxercise, golf, surf lifesaving, cycling and lawn bowls.
