Learning Enrichment & Extension Program (LEEP)

LEEP is a select entry enrichment program designed to meet the needs of talented and gifted students. The rigorous and challenging academic program provides students with an opportunity to work with like-minded students in a supportive and encouraging environment.

LEEP is not an accelerated program; rather it allows students to progress with their school age peers whilst undertaking a challenging curriculum that enriches and extends them in the disciplines of English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography and Digital Technologies.

Students will remain with their LEEP peers for three years from Year 7 to Year 9 and from Year 10 onwards they will be able to access a range of VCE/VET subjects, university subjects and a range of challenging electives but this will depend on the student’s continued high academic performance.
