St Joseph's Flexible Learning Centre

A great alternative school

If you are thinking of applying for a job here think again. Management treat staff like toilet paper which accounts for the 50% staff turn over. I managed to last a year albeit the worst year of my life. Believe me you need to be pretty desperate to want to work at this place.

Simply the MOST amazing school. For teens (12) to young adults (25) who struggle in mainstream education, this is a place where you will find educators who truly care about what they do and will work with you, where you' re at, so you can be successful.This place gets a big tick of approval from my 17yr old whose been mostly disengaged from school for the past 6yrs. In his 4yrs of highschool he never felt he was learning anything & struggled badly with self confidence, social anxiety & pressures to perform.He was going to leave school at the end of the year but was so unsure about what to do & honestly not ready for the work place or Tafe.St Joe's has been a life line for him. After only 1 term he's completed a certificate in food safety, a barista course, qualified for a white card (cert to work safely in construction) & is signed up to learn first aid next term. He's still not sure what he wants to do as a career yet, but the incredible staff at St Joe's are working with him to build his skills and confidence. There's also no expectation students will leave when they reach, what other schools call, Yr12.

Very friendly people

Best school

Special thanks to Sarah & Viv. St Joes has been more than just school, their support has been priceless. Thank goodness we heard about them. Thank you St Josephs.

My son has only been attending this School for just over 12 mths, and the difference in him and his attitude is amazing. I contribute this to the truly amazing staff, their dedication, to the YP. He can now talk to me with out grunting, is happy to tell me about his day. He was just not mainstream suited. Thank you to all the wonderful staff.
