Location Profile WodongaFlexible Learning Centre is a campus of Wodonga Senior Secondary College and is also one of fourflexible learning centres that form the Northeast Victoria Flexible Learning Network. The Northeast Victoria Flexible Learning Network hascentres in Wodonga, Benalla, Seymour and Shepparton with combined student enrolments over 400 in 2017. We believe that all young people should be able to thrive in mainstream school however we know that for a small percentage of students this is not always possible. Our Flexible Learning Centres provide educational opportunities for young people who have disengaged from school or where a mainstream school learning environment is seen to be inappropriate to meet the young person¿s needs.

We believe that most young people would like to be attending an educational setting and learning. We have a further strong belief that ¿students will give the best that they have got¿, in other words, if they could do better at school, they would. The intention of our Flexible Learning Centres is to re-introduce students to learning to the extent that they are able to be successful, to build upon these successes, to develop their learning potential and plan for a successful adult pathway.

The background of students at our Flexible Learning Centres is diverse but they have in common the experience of trauma in their lives through for example, violence, family breakdown and associated mental health issues. Often young people may have not engaged in learning as a result of chronic anxiety, depression or specific learning or language difficulties.





This intake process is designed to ensure that when the young person starts at one of our Flexible Learning Centres they are prepared and ready to focus on learning.

This may include coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program.

Supervision of students can be required individually or in groups up to 4 in controlled circumstances and where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.

Certification and/or qualifications of up to three years can be required at this level (noting that Registered Nurse is not included at this level, the first level for which is Level 1 range 3).

Assisting teachers, within an educational program, by undertaking specific support tasks or the coordination of the support function.

Supervised health and wellbeing support tasks, medical intervention support tasks, or other specialised student/teacher support roles (e.g. enrolled nurses performing the role as described in schedule 3).
