Operation by Principles

We use four Principles to guide how we act and learn together. These are:

1. Honesty

2. Respect

3. Safe & Legal

4. Participation

By following these principles, young people can have a positive and flexible learning experience. We encourage all members of the school community to follow the core principles as we believe these are principles that will help young people to make good choices at school and in their lives outside school.

History

St Francis Flexible Learning Centre opened in Chigwell in February 2016 with a small group of students and staff. The school quickly grew, and by 2017, it had more students and staff, leading to the renovation of a larger building. The Official Opening Ceremony took place in October 2017.

As the school continued to expand, it became clear that the Chigwell site needed too many repairs. In 2019, the school received a long-term lease for the old Springfield Gardens Primary School, with government support, and moved to a newly renovated site in West Moonah in 2022. The students now enjoy a sense of belonging and appreciate their excellent new facilities.

During 2023, we officially changed our name to St Francis Flexible School.
