## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Good but Room for Improvement: My child moved to HSL in Year 7 and had a good experience overall. However, I felt that the pastoral support was not as strong as I had hoped, and there were some issues with communication between teachers and parents. The school's values and programs are excellent, though. *(Dec 2023)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional Education and Environment: My child is thriving in Year 9 at HSL. The school's focus on inclusivity, academic excellence, and extracurricular activities has provided a well-rounded education. The campus is beautiful and the teachers are passionate about their subjects. *(Oct 2023)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding School Experience: My child is in Year 8 and has been at HSL for 2 years now. We've seen significant progress academically and socially, which is a testament to the excellent teaching and values instilled by the school. The facilities are top-notch and the staff are supportive and approachable. *(Aug 2023)*
