Foundation 2023 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.

Book Week Celebrations Our annual Book Week will be celebrated today. We will be encouraging all students and staff to embrace this iconic school event Friday 26 August by dressing up as a favourite book character. 

Grandparents / Special person celebration on this day also. Enjoy everyone. 

Drop Off and Pick-up 

Please make the drop off and pick-up time safe for our community. Parking for ETRS is at the front of the school on Wilkinson Drive or on Coliban Street. The drive-in / bus zone is for the Specialist School ONLY. Unfortunately. it is not for parents/carers or buses of the Primary school to use. Therefore, we ask that ETRS community does not enter the driveway / bus zone at all. 

The school zone is 40km limit with an expectation and law, that we stay at or under this speed limit. This also assists with traffic flow and reaction time for drivers.

Many students, parents, carers and staff cross over Wilkinson Drive each morning and afternoon. Please slow down. Keep us all safe. 

First of September, Hats Remember!

Do not forget students will need to wear their school hat on 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. 

Planning Week

In the second last week of school (Week 9) our teachers will be allocated a day for planning. This day allows our staff to review the data from the previous term, update the curriculum planners for each of the subjects taught and then using this information, plan the program for the upcoming term. MONDAY 5 SEPTEMBER is a Pupil Free Day. Students are not required at school on this day. 

Respect, Inclusion, Resilience, Responsibility, (Academic Excellence)
