Mount Isa Flexible School offers a holistic educational program to secondary school aged young people.
Mount Isa Flexible School caters to young people in grades 7 through 12. At the request of the Department of Education, we also enrol students exiting Year 6 into our Year 7 program, but only after Education Queensland has exhausted all efforts to meet their educational needs. Each student is enrolled with a personalized learning plan that outlines the support they require, focusing on their individual strengths while also addressing any barriers to learning.
The school collaborates closely with Vocational Training Queensland (VTQ), with junior students participating in a prevocational course in numeracy and literacy to support their reading and writing skills. Senior students are enrolled in the Certificate in General Education for Adults, with placements in Certificates I-IV based on their current capabilities. Additionally, through Mount Isa TAFE, we offer a TAFE-at-School program for Year 11 and 12 students, providing certificate courses in Engineering, Plumbing, Construction, Health Support Services, and Retail. Our staff support small groups of students in each course, maintaining a ratio of 5 students to 1 mentor. In 2024, three students successfully completed TAFE-at-School, contributing to the success of 16 young people choosing to engage in TAFE-at-School for 2025.
