Principal’s Welcome

There is still a nice vibe and buzz around the school after last weeks opportunities to have parents/carers and special friends on-site at several special events. We thank you for coming and supporting our events but particularly for being such an important part of your children’s lives here at ETRS. 

Foundation (Prep) 2023 Information Day / Evening 

Session 1 – Tuesday 24 May, 10 am School Tour

Session 2 – Tuesday 24 May, 5.30 pm School Tour followed by Information Evening at 6 pm. 

Foundation 2022 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.

Traffic 

We are continuing to talk with students in relation to road safety.  We have noticed before and after school that Wilkinson Drive and Coliban Street are getting busier and busier. There are many students taking risks when crossing the road. If parents are dropping children off, we encourage you to walk them across the road to ensure their safety. With the noise and busy traffic, students are hesitating, and this could end up in an accident.

We also have several students riding their bikes/scooters without a helmet and taking risks at the roundabouts. Please have a chat with your child about ensuring their safety. Helmets are compulsory when riding bikes and scooters. 

Safety of our community is of the utmost importance to us. 

Please do not enter the service driveway into the main entrance of the school. This driveway is for the ETRSS buses. This is not for our school community to use during pick-up and drop off times. Unfortunately, the Specialist School buses are experiencing times where they are blocked from entering and or exiting this driveway. Specialist School staff will ask you to move or relocate your vehicle in this event. You will notice cones as reminder not to enter at these times. We thank you for your consideration and co-operation with this. 

Uniform 

We currently have several students beginning to wear black or coloured bottoms and non-uniform jumpers (eg. track suit pants, shorts or leggings, hoodies, or jumpers) to school. Please ensure your child is in correct uniform each day. This includes navy blue bottoms and the tops with the school logo on it. If you require support with uniform, please don't hesitate to contact us. 

Respect, Inclusion, Resilience, Responsibility (Academic Excellence) 

Enjoy the weekend!
