FLO at CSC
For a number of children and young people, a highly flexible and individualised learning environment, coupled with more intensive wellbeing support and evidence-based interventions, can increase engagement and learning outcomes.
Flexible Learning Options (FLO) programs play an important role in complementing the work of schools to ensure that the system supports all students and provides them with access to a high-quality education. The FLO program at CSC is offered as part of a continuum of support where a targeted, intensive intervention is required to respond to behavioral, therapeutic and learning needs of young people from Years 9 to 12. There is a strong focus on supporting a student’s pathway back into mainstream school, further education, training or employment through the implementation of a strengths and interests-based learning approach.
FLO currently offers a program for students in Year 8 & 9.
Learning
All FLO students have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) to guide their learning across the following subject areas: Literacy; Numeracy; Personal Development Skills, which encompasses respectful relationships, health, and community and individual projects; and Work-Related Skills, which incorporates work experience placements when possible. Students are engaged in a variety of tasks based on the goals they have set in their IEPs with a focus on developing their skills through their own strengths and interests.
Wellbeing
FLO students have weekly group sessions with an onsite guidance counsellor and the school nurse. Small class sizes ensure students are well supported by teaching and support staff. Each student completes a ready-to-learn plan from the Berry Street Education Model as part of their wellbeing plan, to ensure that each and every student is well catered for in all areas of their development.
