Direct peers

• Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School (Glen Waverley): Catholic systemic primary school in the Glen Waverley area operating under the Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools framework. Directly comparable to St Leonard's on faith-based K-6 offering, MACS governance, and shared local catchment.
• St Christopher's Catholic Primary School (Glen Waverley): Catholic systemic primary school in the Glen Waverley area under MACS. Competes with St Leonard's for the same fee-paying Catholic families in the immediate catchment using a parallel faith-based primary model.
• St Justin's Catholic Primary School (Wheelers Hill): Catholic systemic primary school in a neighbouring Melbourne suburb under MACS. Comparable to St Leonard's on faith-based K-6 delivery, Victorian Curriculum alignment, and archdiocesan governance framework.
• Holy Family Catholic Primary School (Ringwood East): Catholic systemic primary school in Melbourne's eastern suburbs under MACS. Comparable to St Leonard's on faith-based primary offering, MACS governance, and shared broader eastern-suburbs catchment.

Regional players

• Glen Waverley Primary School: Public primary school in Glen Waverley serving the same local families as St Leonard's. Comparable on year levels and curriculum framework but operates under the state government system rather than Catholic systemic governance.

Others

• Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS): Governing body for Catholic systemic schools across the Melbourne Archdiocese, including St Leonard's. Relevant as the umbrella organization that sets the policy, curriculum, and operational framework under which the school operates.

Broad incumbents

• Wesley College (Glen Waverley): Established private K-12 school operating a campus in Glen Waverley. Overlaps with St Leonard's on the same suburban catchment and broader Melbourne private education market, but spans a much wider year-level and co-curricular portfolio.
