FLEXed is for students who are seeking to graduate from school with certified accreditation. It will provide an understanding of business and enterprise that can lead to employment, further study or even a practical trade.

This program will provide selected students with an independent, student-focused environment and complete their secondary education at Prendiville Catholic College, graduating as a ‘Prendivillian’. This pathway can be tailored to either a WACE or non-WACE pathway to suit student needs.

The program is facilitated by a mentor teacher who will work closely with each student, personalising the learning experience and addressing each student’s individual needs.

Further testimony to students’ achievements will be provided including a progressive achievement record, specific exit statement and reference. Students enter the program in Year 11, completing the course work over two years.
