Where do Leaning Tree funds come from?
Leaning Tree Community School is the first of its kind for the Mid West Region. The school opened its doors in 2007 after gaining permission from the Hon. Minister of Education.
Leaning Tree is an independent, co-educational day school from Pre-Primary to Year 7. Our school is a wholesome environment dedicated to nurturing your child/ren in a balanced, holistic learning atmosphere.
We are a ‘mid fee’ private school which relies heavily on term fee income from parents and building fund contributions. Without your support by way of paying your fees on time, we would not be able to provide the quality education you seek for your child/ren.
