LEAP
LEAP (Lyneham Enriched Academic Program) provides an opportunity for high school children to enhance their learning, in the fields of Maths, Science, Social Studies (SoSE) and English. It provides a foundation for bright students intending to study these subjects at higher levels. The program is selective, with around thirty students being accepted in each year.
The requirements of LEAP are that the students are to sit the University of New South Wales tests in the subjects of English, Mathematics, SoSE (Studies of Society and Environment), and Science, as well as the National Geography competition.
LEAP students attend two camps throughout their schooling at Lyneham High School. In year 8, and in year 10.
