Principal's Message

I am getting very excited about tomorrow night’s annual Trivia Night in our MPC and thinking about all the amazing items that are available for purchase at both the live and silent auctions. I have my eye on a few baby and children’s items too, not to mention the amazing art! Our staff table has recruited well this year with the addition of some younger “on trend” staff members who will definitely add value to our table. Thank you once again to our fabulous PFA who work tirelessly for our school and will have transformed the MPC into a colourful Havana night!

Qkr! app

We use the Qkr! app to make school payments simpler for parents - click here to see how it works and for tips about Qkr! click here.

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.

Apps for Parents

We use the FlexiBuzz app to communicate with parents. Click on the FlexiBuzz logo to go to the site for more details. Download the app and then register yourself, search for Primary Schools, then Armadale PS, and finally choose the notifications you want eg.

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.
