Where would I be working?
Hemmant Flexible School is a Catholic School in the tradition of Edmund Rice. You can check out our school and the Edmund Rice story at our school website Hemmant FLC – EREA Flexible Schools Networks (ereafsn.edu.au)
Flexi schools serve young people (students) who experience complex educational, social or psychological situations which require a lot of support. The schools encourage young people to engage in education in a supportive learning environment.
To this, we work really differently to other schools.

Providing healthy and filling meals to our young people is a very important part of helping them learn and thrive at our school.
