A STUDENT ONCE SAID …

“Last Wednesday evening I was one of the leaders responsible for making a Google presentation for next year’s Foundation parents. When the parents came to the school we had to present what it’s like to be at our school. Speaking to the new parents made me feel important and special. Showing and telling them what it’s like every day in the life of OLOL was a great opportunity for me to build my confidence and be part of the kind of leaders this school prepares.” – Chelsea, Year 5
