Reviews
"I would not recommend sending to you children to this school as they limit the space of the students play area and instead replace it with facilities for the teachers. The principal cares more about making the school a better and more suitable place for teachers and treats the students as if they are babies."
"Amazing school, amazing community and amazing experience. OLA helped us feel at ease as first time prep parents, taking the worry out of every step and providing a multi-levelled system of support for students and families. I can’t speak highly enough of the school and all staff members who work there, greeting families by name and with a smile every day!"
"OLA have honestly gone above and beyond what I’d ever hoped for in a transition into prep. From The grade 6 buddies sending letters in the Christmas holidays with a welcoming pack, to teachers welcoming us every morning, by name at the gates, to the principal there to control traffic at home time pick up and to say goodbye at the end of EVERY school day. The well-being teachers are so amazing and have again, gone above and beyond to help my daughter settle in and feel comfortable with all the struggles and new experiences that preppies come across. The prep teachers have also been excellent. Thank you OLA for welcoming us into your family and including ALL our family into your school. We feel extremely loved and happy to leave “our baby” in your hands. You’ve helped us ease our worries about our daughter starting school with your unconditional love and light. My daughter LOVES & skips into school each morning where not only the teachers, but most of the older students welcome her by name!! What an OUTSTANDING school!"
"Have 2 kids here. They absolutely love it and adore they’re teachers. One was lagging behind in reading during prep and they set up a catch up class for him. Which now has him upto the standard and he now enjoys reading. Couldn’t of asked for anything else from a primary school tbh. A+ Feeling grateful we choose OLA."
"Can't speak highly enough of OLA as a primary school and local community. The teachers and staff are amazing, and our kids go off happily to school each day. As well as the core curriculum, this year our kids have also had the opportunity to try swim squad, bike ed, interschool sports, cross country, after school art, chess club and wakakirri! Thanks Richard, Caitlan and all the staff for the great job you all do!"
