Your username is normally your firstnamelastname (for example, Jane Smith would be janesmith). Take note of your username from this email, you will need it in the following steps.

NEED HELP?
If you are experiencing a repeated password reset loop we suggest trying a different browser (Safari instead of Chrome for example) or a different device.
We strongly advise setting your password in a browser via the CONNECT website and not in the PLC App. Once the password is set you can sign into the App.
If you have any issues with accessing your account please email helpdesk@plcarmidale.nsw.edu.au, call 02 6770 1748 or visit the IT help desk during school hours and we will be happy to assist with resetting your password and setting up your account.
