Principal's Message
Year of Jubilee
Bonjour à tous.
I would like to remind everyone when contacting the office to please use the office@stlleongatha.catholic.edu.au email address. This will ensure that your queries will be answered as quickly and efficiently as possible, as Kylie, Kizz and Michaela will all get the emails, and can respond daily, regardless of who is in or out of the office on any particular day.
PAM and Simon Everywhere is still offline for parents. Unfortunately, the expected timeframe of Monday 10th November to be up and running again did not eventuate for our diocese. We are unaware of the return to service at this time. Thank you for your patience.
