Principal's Message

Dear Armadale Community

A very fast term has flown by and all of us are very much looking forward to the holidays . We have commenced the building works with the children watching the dome come down and taken off into storage. All of the Year 2 and 5/B classes will be moved by tomorrow and then our site should be ready for the new double storey building to come in over the holidays. Unfortunately, I do not have any definite timelines for building completions and we all have to be patient, flexible and resilient and keep the long-term benefits to the children in mind. Access points into the school will change over the holidays with the small gate on Densham Road closest to our southern boundary closed off. The children in the classes who have moved will know where their new line up spaces will be and where their bags are to be kept.

The Department of Education & Training, with the help of Victoria’s teaching associations, has created an app for parents to help them better understand the key components of the school curriculum. SchoolMate aims to help parents become more involved in their children’s education and is available for free download now. Click here or on the SchoolMate logo at right to watch an explanatory video.

Parking

Street parking is available along the surrounding roads. Please be courteous to our neighbours when parking, dropping off or collecting students from school. Obey parking signs and do not park in or over driveways. We ask that you leave enough time to drop off and pick up your children in a safe and legal manner.

Please give particular attention to how children alight from cars and come to meet you. If both home and school emphasise obeying road rules and safety procedures, our children will make a habit of responsible behaviour.
