Erin Public School is a K-8 school serving both a town and a rural community. Approximately 30% of our students live in the village. Most of these students walk to school. The majority of bussed students are in grades 7 and 8. Erin Public School is a “feeder” school for students who have completed grade 6 at Ross R. MacKay PS in Hillsburgh or Brisbane PS in Brisbane. Students coming from Brisbane’s French Immersion program continue in French Immersion programs for grades 7 and 8 here as well.
Erin is a town in Wellington County, bordered by the Town of Caledon to the east, the Town of Halton Hills to the south, the Township of Guelph/Eramosa to the west and the Township of East Garafraxa to the north. The amalgamated town is composed of the former Villages of Erin and Hillsburgh, both urban centres now, as well as the former Township of Erin (which contained the hamlets of Ballinafad, Brisbane, Cedar Valley, Crewson's Corners, Ospringe and Orton). Erin is primarily a rural community but, while farming is still an important activity in the town, most of its population works in the nearby cities.
