About Us:
FLIP stands for Flexible Learning Intervention Pathways - an interim educational program where secondary school students are supported to reconnect with their lifelong learning journey. At FLIP we work with young people within the Wyndham & Hobsons Bay municipalities who face challenges in connecting with mainstream education. As teachers we support these young people to develop their learning confidence, to build trusted relationships and to explore suitable education, vocation and/or employment options. Manor Lakes P-12 College is the lead school which oversees FLIP and all teachers are employed by Manor Lakes P-12 College.
Within FLIP, each student is assigned a teacher who supports their learning program and together they develop an Individual Education Plan which outlines the goals the student wants to work towards. The learning focus in FLIP is centered around Literacy, Numeracy, Health & Wellbeing activities as well as transition and pathway guidance. The program is primarily online with face to face sessions taking place twice a week. We track students' attendance and engagement in the program to constantly monitor their progress in the program. We work closely with allied health, mental health professionals and external support services to ensure students are well supported. The aim of FLIP is to be a short term option for students to reconnect with their education and build their skills and confidence to succeed academically and personally.
