ETRPS Transition Program

The transition program for students to transition to 2024 year levels is in full swing. We have two sessions remaining: 

Day 3 (Tuesday) – 5th December  9 -11.40am

Day 4 (Tuesday) – 12th December  9am -1pm

At these times students, will develop comfort and understanding in what 2024 may look like for them.

Year 3/4 Camp

As I write this, our Year 3/4 students (and staff) are at camp in Anglesea. They have not let the weather "dampen" their spirits and are having a great time!

Cultural Day

The 2023 Cultural Leaders worked hard this term to put together our first Cultural Day. Students participated in a variety of traditional games from different cultures. Many students dressed up to show their heritage and got to parade their outfits at an assembly in the Centre. Well done to all!

Whole School Assemblies

All ETRPS parents/families are invited to join our whole school assemblies that occur fortnightly on Mondays at 2:30pm. Please enter through the front office of the school and sign in upon arrival.

Our next assembly will be at 12pm on Monday 11th November. This will be the farewell assembly for our current Year 6 students following our end of year Concert. 

Uniform

Thank you to our students and the support of our families in ensuring our students are in full school uniform every day. Our students look great in our uniform, and it helps develop pride and a sense of belonging. Uniform spot checks will happen throughout the week.

Black pants and shorts are not part of our school uniform. As part of our uniform policy, all shorts and pants must be navy blue. Students arriving at school, who are not in uniform will be provided with the opportunity to wear school uniform and a phone call may be made home. 

Year 5/6 Wax Museum Showcase

This term the Year 5/6s have been busy creating a biographical report on a historical figure that has made an impact on society. They will be showcasing these projects on Friday 8th of December between 9am and 11am in the 5/6 classrooms. Parents are welcome to attend and view these fantastic pieces of work.

End of Year Concert

Our students will showcase what they've been learning in Performing Arts at a special concert on Monday 11th of December at 12pm in the Centre. 

We welcome our families to attend this concert to celebrate a fantastic year of learning. There will be a special farewell to the Year 6s at the conclusion of the concert.

Planning for 2024

We understand that at times families may move for a range of reasons. If you think you may not be attending ETRS next year, please email us as this will help support us with planning for 2024.

2024 Enrolments

All enrolment documents are available to download from our website. You may also contact the school and we can send the information to you via email or the post.

If you know of any families who are interested in enrolling, please ask them to contact the school. Thank you to our families who are getting the good word out in the community about our school, word of mouth is the most powerful form of advertising and consequently, we are fielding an increased number of inquiries about our school.
