The Seymour Flexible Learning Centre has a student population of approximately 80 students ranging from Year 7 - 12.Seymour FLC believes that every student has a right to an education and that all students can achieve their goals and provide educational opportunities for young people who have disengaged from mainstream education.We believe that for students to be able to achieve success in achieving their goals we need to foster student¿ individual interests, encouraging their active participation in the learning process, and develop the ability to apply knowledge and skills to life experiences and the challenges that life brings.

Seymour Flexible Learning Centre is a part of the North East Flexible Learning Network, which has four campuses throughout North East Victoria including Shepparton, Wodonga and Benalla with over 400 students enrolled across the four campuses. We believe in our school moto of Every student, every opportunity, Success for all.¿ And work to instil our school values of Respect, Resourcefulness, Resilience and Reliability.

We are looking for a teacher who can easily adapt to an ever-changing environment, be flexible in their teaching and learning practice and can positively respond to the challenges of an alternative approach to meeting student needs.We are looking for an educator with a passion for teaching and strengths in teamwork, fairness and positivity.

The students that attend the North East Flexible Learning Network have a number of influencing factors including but not limited to:

- Long term disengagement from education.
- Low level Literacy and Numeracy skills.
- Low learning confidence.
- Low level personal and social skills.
- Diagnosed and undiagnosed disabilities.
- Traumatic experiences in their past and/or present.




- Rural and remote student who need to travel a significant distance to attend school.

These factors have a significant impact on the way in which our students learn. Our school therefore has a flexible approach to teaching and a unique way of working with young people and their families/carers that does not align with mainstream education. If you are not truly passionate about working with disengaged youth and having the students at the centre of every decision that you make, our school and this job are not for you.

The school assesses against the Victorian Curriculum and offers VCE-VM and VPC options to our senior students. Every student has an Individual Education plan which is created and updated termly with the student, their families/carers, support teams and Learning Mentor.

The school's focus is on building strong, professional relationships with students to encourage confidence and a safe space for optimal learning to take place and for our young people to achieve their goals. Deep understandings and the ability to model appropriate boundaries when working with students, their families cares and other staff is essential.
