Classroom Teacher - Secondary Special Education

Armstrong Creek School opened in January 2018 for students in Years Prep to 6. In 2019, the Secondary Special School component opened its doors and is now educating students from Years 7 to 12.

Our school combines both Primary, Prep to Year 6 and Special Education provision from Prep to Year 12 under a single governance model. Our school¿s inclusive model and flexible approach curriculum provision allows each learner to access the educational support and experiences they require based on identified need, individual student ability and assessed benefit. It enables a customised approach to education rather than a `one size fits all¿.

The school also has a Community Hub which is managed by the YMCA out of school hours to provide before/after school care, holiday programs and other community programs that can be accessed by local families and residents. The school also features an indoor gymnasium built to Netball Victoria standards, outdoor hardcourts and sporting fields.

Purpose Statement

At Armstrong Creek School we embrace challenge and celebrate diversity while pursuing an individual journey to personal excellence. Innovative learning and teaching are placed at the centre of allwe do. We design opportunities for students to achieve their personal best in a positive setting where they are inspired to learn, grow and thrive while demonstrating our school values of: Care, Collaboration and Commitment.
