EREA is committed to creating an environment in which the Safety wellbeing and participation of all children and young people are paramount.
Ipswich Flexible School (IFS) is an educational space that aims to respond to and support the needs of young people who experience complexities in their lives to continue their journey in education. IFS is a secondary school that caters for young people in years 7 to 12 from Ipswich and surrounding areas. Initially IFS was established as part of Edmund Rice Education Australia as a mobile Outreach Programme from another FLC, Centre Education Programme, in 2006. The Outreach programme offered opportunities to build trusting relationships and educational pathways for young people of Ipswich wanting to engage in flexible learning choices. The need for this programme grew and the start of 2012 saw IFS moving to its current location in Queen Victoria Parade. IFLC became an accredited school within Edmund Rice Education Australia Flexible Schools (EREAFS). Since its inception IFLC has provided young people with a safe and supportive environment to engage in socially inclusive education. A commitment by young people and adults to the operation by principles of Respect, Honesty, Participation and Safe and Legal, has created a holistic learning environment offering relevant and meaningful learning choices for young people. Social and emotional needs of young people are recognised and young people are supported to develop key academic skills. Young people are empowered to develop autonomy in their own lives and take responsibility for their learning and educational goals.
Ipswich Flexible School offers an inclusive and holistic learning environment, which aims to promote the educational goals and wellbeing of young people. Learning groups are small with a focus on literacy and numeracy skills embedded in young person directed and negotiated curriculum. The curriculum framework draws from V9 of the Australian Curriculum, QCAA Applied Subjects. It provides numerous educational opportunities for young people including gaining qualifications and skills through our own RTO.
Community Engagement and Wellbeing:
Community participation is evident with key agencies of Ipswich and surrounding areas including Headspace, CHYMS, PCYC, ICYS and TAFE.
The school offers life and social skills through adventure-based learning and school camps.
