About the LEAF Program

The LEAF Program engages students with an integrated approach to learning, recognising the underlying relationships between English, Mathematics, Science and Humanities. Learning experiences are designed using authentic learning contexts and pedagogies that develop students' general capabilities. Students in the LEAF Program acquire a substantial subject-specific knowledge base before applying these learnings to tasks with real world implications often linking with the wider community.

Students are encouraged to invest in the learning process, embracing setbacks as part of the journey and understanding that assessment is the measurement not the end goal of the process. Through the program, students will appreciate that learning excellence comes from commitment to hard work and an intrinsic love of learning. The aim is for students to grow as independent learners and adaptive problem solvers, activating the full scope of their creativity to uncover and implement novel solutions. Our Coaching Program is an initiative that supports students to be reflective learners, where year 9 students coach their year 7 and 8 peers in achieving their goals.
