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.

It enables a customised approach to education rather than a 'one size fits all'.

The school also has a Community Hub 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 features an indoor gymnasium built to Netball Victoria standards, outdoor hardcourts, and sporting fields.
