Foundation 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.

2024 Prep Enrolments forms are required to the school by the end of August.

 

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.

 

Parent Opinion Survey 

The DET annual Parent Opinion Survey will open on the 7th August and will remain open until the 8th of September. Our school highly values the opinions of our parents and carers. Your responses assist our school to identify areas for improvement, plan for the future and also monitor our performance over time. It is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behaviour, student engagement and experiences of remote and flexible learning. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies.

Approximately 30 per cent of parents will be invited to participate in this year’s survey and it will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. All responses to the survey are anonymous. 

If you are randomly selected, an envelope will be sent home with your child containing the school pin and the website enabling you to access the survey. 

 

 

 

 

Book Week Celebrations & Special Persons Day

Following our parade We will inviting our special people into classrooms before a morning tea. Look out for more details on our social media accounts.

 

 

First of September, Hats Remember!

Do not forget students will need to wear their school hat as of the 1st of September. If your child’s hat is frayed or has writing on it, it will need to be replaced. ETRS hats can be purchased at the office for $10. Be SunSmart with us. 

 

 

Please Fill Out Our survey 

Our school is beginning to plan for 2024 and we'd like to hear from you. We continue to have a great response rate to our parenting seminars that are regularly offered to our families through Anglicare and other community groups. We hope to organise an Echuca Cluster parenting seminar with some keynote speakers next year and we want to know what you would like to know more about. Click on the link below and this will take you to a one questioned survey. We appreciate your feedback.

 

Last week we only had 2 responses to the survey and we were hoping to get at least 20 to provide us with some useful data to make informed decisions about the needs of our parent community.  It will take just 30 secs!
