Ms Linda Burland<\/span>
\nLeader of Wellbeing – Year 12<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It has been a busy start to the year for our Class of 2026!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Year 12 continue their HSC studies, the High Achievers Assembly at the beginning of the term provided some powerful motivation. In particular, 2025 Dux Christian Yacou\u2019s speech emphasised the importance of balance and prioritising your mental and physical health during the stresses of Year 12. His unique insight into how he juggled leadership, extracurricular activities, sport and work – all whilst achieving excellent results in his HSC – gave our Year 12 students inspiration alongside some helpful strategies to help them to achieve their best.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 12 marked their last Swimming Carnival at the College with enthusiasm and some creative costumes. Races were intense, chants were heated and tensions were high but at the end of the day Leopold was able to edge out the competition for a convincing win, rallying behind the leadership of House Captain Oscar Fitz Gibbon. The Senior A Basketball team demonstrated Year 12\u2019s sporting prowess by becoming Conference 2 Champions, defeating longtime rivals Casimir Catholic College 38 to 30. Congratulations to the team and their coach Mr Brombal and in the words of one of our star players Tom Boyle: \u201cWinning. This is what we do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
