- **5/5** — Wonderful school with amazing staff!: I'm so grateful my child is attending OLST. The nursery is top-notch, and the sports and music programs are fantastic. The values of creativity, resilience, and compassion really shine through in the daily life of the school. Highly recommend! *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent education and caring community: My child has thrived at OLST. The teachers are dedicated and supportive, and the school's focus on mental health and well-being is outstanding. The Fire Service visit was a highlight of the year for my child. We're so happy to be part of the OLST community. *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some positives and areas for improvement: We were at OLST for three years and had a generally good experience. The Christmas concert was always a highlight, and the school's commitment to community service is admirable. However, communication with the school could be better, and I felt that some teachers were not as approachable as they could be. *(Sep 2021)*
