Your Career
St Leonard’s is a wonderful place to work for many reasons, which have been outlined for you in the ‘Your Career at St Leonard’s College’ brochure which you can download below.
We have a proud history of pioneering progress and innovation in education and curriculum development. In 1972 we became the first single-sex independent school in the state to introduce coeducation. In 1982 we became the first Victorian school to offer the choice of the VCE or International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme as pathways to tertiary education. Today our pedagogy and programs are informed by the world’s very best academic research from the most respected organisations.
We recognise that “the quality of a school cannot exceed the quality of its teachers” (McKinsey Report) and we offer highly sought after professional learning opportunities from global leaders in education such as Harvard University. These programs inspire our teaching staff with the most progressive and innovative scholastic models and practices. St Leonard’s College is also the very first Australian school to be independently invited to support the work of the OECD’s Future of Skills and Education 2030 Project.
