The school held its annual MADD (music, arts, dance and drama) showcase last Friday evening, as well as a matinee performance on December 10.
Students took to the stage for various routines, with a visual art display on show for all to see.
LHS music teacher Rebecca Van Den Heuvel said about 100 students were part of the performances.
"That covered all of the performing and arts areas, as well as our crew for backstage, lighting and sounds," Mrs Van Den Heuvel said.
"We had a crowd of about 300 there for the Friday night and 400 for the matinee show on the Wednesday.
"It's a great way to end the school year and the students really look forward to it."
Students that study music, drama and dance as electives take part in the evening, as well as others that don't take the classes as part of their schedule.
"It's a great opportunity for all of them to be on stage and perform," Mrs Van Den Heuvel said.
"This year we had the Shine performances with the other schools, which was great, but because of that we didn't get time to do our Leeton Idol show.
"So, because we didn't have that the kids were really excited about getting on stage for MADD night.
"They all did really well and it couldn't have gone better.
"All up I think the crowds were happy and the kids were happy."
