Curriculum

Leopold Primary School teaches students most elements of study through one teacher, who they will stay with until the end of the year; with the exception of subjects taught by specialist teachers. Subjects that are taught by specialist teachers include Information Technology, Art, LOTE and Physical Education.

Students are also subjected to Religious Education provided the parent has consented.

Once a year, certain year levels will be involved in a concert performance, where students will engage in corriographed dance. This production helps students develop confidence and public speaking skills.

In 2006, a program was developed where Grade 6 students were given the opportunity to spend more time engaging themselves in the specialist subject of their own choice.

Alumini

Leopold Primary School provided education for Australia's most successful race walker to date, Nathan Deakes.
