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.

School Crossing Funding Announcement

Finally…ETRS will be getting a manned, school crossing on Wilkinson Drive. This news is so very exciting and so very welcomed by our community. Our staff, students, parents, and School Council have made such a difference when using their voice to demonstrate the need for what should be considered an automatic resource to keep our children safe. Works will begin this year. 

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 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. 

Footy Colours Day Friday 16 September

Friday, last day of Term 3, is Footy Colours Day. Feel free to support any club of your choice by wearing your favourite teams’ colours. 

Last day of term

The last day of term is Friday 16 September. School will finish at 1.30pm. Please make sure you are here to collect your child/ren at 1.30pm. Bus travellers will meet in the library to be supervised until 2.10, when buses arrive.
