In 1976 Leighland Christian School commenced with just 36 students in Ulverstone. This year, there are 600 students from Kindergarten to Year 12, with campuses in Ulverstone (K - 12) and Burnie (K - 6). We are a well-established school community committed to Christian family values and providing a significant range of educational opportunities and experiences. Parents in Partnership (PIP) is the name given to our active Parent Group, which operates on both campuses. The PIP group collaborates with the school in as many areas as possible to enrich our children's' education. Fostering this vital partnership with parents and providing an environment of nurturing and caring for students is vital for the school, building a strong sense of community and ownership for everyone involved. Leighland Christian School runs a Pre Kinder program to help prepare children for school. This program caters to children who are starting Kindergarten the following year.
