The LJPSA is a national competition conducted through Australian secondary schools and colleges for students aged 12 to 14 years. The competition began in Melbourne in 1988 and commenced as a national competition in 1995.
Approximately 1500 students participate in this event across Australia. It spans approximately 6 months as it involves several elimination rounds to get to the finals – including regional finals, state semi finals and then State finals where the winner and runner up are put forward for the National finals in November.
Legacy is most grateful to have the support of Defence Credit Union as sponsor for National finals of LJPSA.
