It has been such a busy semester and the last 2 months have been relentless. Our guys have been pushing themselves on the sporting field and in the cultural arena too. Here is a round up of the latest news on that front.
We have had some great results this semester which now sees us sitting in third place on the ladder - which is our best position for a long, long time.
College Idol - Patrick Lynch, performed in College Idol and came in fifth place. Pat played and sang 'Blame it on me' by George Ezra.
Band Fest - The Leo's band stormed to sixth place this year with their set. Lachlan Baxter, Tom Baxter, Toby Burstow, Max Ellis, Jaiden Harding, Saxon Howard-Secombe, Tyler Kiernan, Pierce Leahy, Pat Lynch, Kyle Raabe and Matt Wilson all gave it their all.

Choral Fest - We took out third place in Choral Fest this year with renditions of Tshotsholoza, Fire and Rain and The Wiggles' Rock-a-bye Bear. (Photos in link - click on Choral Fest title).
Art Show - the College was filled with some unique pieces of art in the last few weeks and as a result of our residents' efforts we secured joint fifth.
Debating - our debating team were doing a great job however lost in their semi-final and so took home fourth place.
Chess - with our best result this semester we came first in the chess competition after a fantastic final held at St Leo's. Home advantage? No - just awesome chess masters. By the way, the runners up (and the team we beat) was King's.
Touch - We took home the runners' up prize in the touch comp this year and sadly were pipped at the end by King's. (Photos in link - click on Touch title).
Cross Country - After a fantastic run we managed joint fifth with Union College.
Volleyball - After some hard fought matches we managed to finish up in joint fifth place alongside Cromwell College.
Waterpolo - After a great result in the swimming event (where we placed third) we only managed seventh in waterpolo.

Cricket - It wasn't our year for cricket and we finished up sixth on the leader board however we did have a great win against Cromwell/Union College: The top Scorer was Tim Broadfoot with 78. Man of the match was Michael Effeney for hitting the biggest six the college has seen in 100 years.
U20 Rugby - We came fourth in U20 Rugby however the competition was very close this year and only a few points separated the top five teams. Here is the team with a win under their belts.
Rowing - We had a lot of fun at the Regatta!
So we are looking forward to a really positive semester 2 to pull us up from the bottom of the leader board. Come on you Leonians!
Congratulations to our Leonians Flynn Woodall, Flynn Taylor, Declan Attenborough and Bryce Kenyon for taking out the ICC Chess Competition […]
