The Edmund Rice Flexi School is a campus of Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA). Our school provides an educational and wellbeing service for young people aged 12 – 21 years of age. Edmund Rice Flexi is centrally co- located at the Elizabeth TAFE Campus and aims to re-engage young people who are looking to access a different way of learning. Fundamental to our operation are the principles of Respect, Participation, Honesty and Safe & Legal. Staff and young people come together on ‘common ground’ where everyone has a voice in making decisions and establishing working agreements to foster a positive environment where young people can achieve positive educational and wellbeing outcomes.
 
Learning
Edmund Rice Flexi creates an environment where young people are given their voice in a safe setting whilst receiving a high level of wellbeing and educational support to help them achieve outcomes identified in their Learning and Wellbeing Plans. Students can complete their secondary schooling and access a variety of SACE subjects, internal and external VET (Vocational Education Training) courses and vocational training such as White card, First aid Certificate, and other options.  Young people also have the opportunity to access a variety of engagement activities including music, health and physical education, art, catering/hospitality, community service and any other areas of interest.
 
Wellbeing
The wellbeing of our young people is just as important to us as engaging them in education. Young people welcomed into our community are encouraged and nurtured to develop strong healthy relationships that support lifelong learning. Youth Workers and Teachers alike help to build their self-confidence and self-esteem; promoting an optimistic view of their future whilst assisting them to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes necessary to enjoy a healthy and fulfilling life.
