OTS uses four multi-age house teams (with colors and meanings: Red for Heart, Yellow for Sun, Blue for Water, and Green for Land) as an important tradition. The school also describes work informed by Truth and Reconciliation commitments, including embedding Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into educational practice (referencing BC educators’ Professional Standard 9).
Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here
Central Okanagan Public Schools (SD23) provides bus transportation and requires families to submit an online transportation application; students must be registered on a route to ride. The district notes that only registered riders may ride (no guest passengers), and bus passes are scanned when boarding/exiting. For safety, the district highlights expectations such as arriving at the bus stop about 10 minutes early, staying seated while the bus is moving, keeping the aisle clear, and following the driver’s signal before crossing in front of the bus when red alternating lights are flashing (“WE STOP – YOU STOP”).
Enrollment
The school directs families to an online student enrollment application for kindergarten, new students, and Programs of Choice. The OTS site also posts registration news/updates (for example, a “Registration 2026–2027” notice pointing families to the Online Application for more information).
