LEAP (Learn, Educate & Play) is a program of weekly classes for home-educated students held on Thursdays during school terms.
LEAP provides a welcoming environment for students to make new friends, enjoy learning and socialising with peers. Parents are welcome to stay and chat, or drop off and return at the end of the class. Enrol in one class or stay for the whole day.
LEAP is currently on hold for 2024, but will be running again in 2025.
Classes are run by experienced, friendly and inclusive instructors, and all classes are linked to the WA Curriculum.
How it works
Timetable
Class dates for 2025 will be announced later in the year.
Incursion days will consist of standalone workshops aimed at a set age group. Each workshop is usually between 60-90 mins in length.
Age groups are: Kindy-Yrs 2, Yrs 3-6, and Yrs 7-9.
Each group usually has a maximum of 24 students.
Parents are welcome to accompany their child into the workshop or wait in the hall, or join us in the children’s activity area for a cuppa.
As each incursion day is confirmed with providers a booking link will be provided here, on our social media platforms, and in our subscriber emails.
Dates for 2025
Class dates for 2025 will be announced later in the year.

LEAP Classes
Science
The best way to learn science is through hands-on activities! In each class, students will explore a concept and then work through an interactive and practical activity to further develop their understanding and critical thinking skills.
Classes are interactive and designed to engage visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learners, and new students are welcome to join in at any stage.

Each session will introduce new skills, with both structured and unstructured learning, ensuring children feel secure and supported.

LEAP Policies
Refunds
As this group is not for profit all activities are run so that they cover the cost of the venue, instructors and consumables. As a result of this, there is no refund for missed classes as instructors and the venue still need to be paid. If a class is cancelled due to instructor illness or unavailability of the venue then the fee for that class will be credited and applied to the next term’s fees. Note: if classes are cancelled due to COVID-19 safety concerns then only 50% of the fee for the cancelled classes will be refunded to families. The remaining 50% will be used to cover the cost of the venue, instructors and consumables.
