Welcome to St Francis Flexible School! We’re a supportive and caring place where Young People from Years 7 to 12 can feel safe, respected, and ready to learn. Our school understands that everyone’s journey is different, and we’re here to help Young People grow, even if they’ve faced challenges in the past. Every day, we focus on building positive relationships, creating a safe and supportive environment, and encouraging Young People to work towards their own learning goals. We enjoy working closely with our families to support the social, emotional, and learning needs of the Young People in our care.
St Francis is part of Catholic Education Tasmania (CET) which operates 38 schools and colleges across Tasmania, offering students from all backgrounds a quality education enriched by Catholic faith.
St Francis Flexible School is also part of Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA), a network of schools that provide inclusive and flexible education for Young People who need extra support. Our school is guided by the EREA Touchstones: Liberating Education, which gives every Young Person the chance to learn in a way that works for them; Gospel Spirituality, which encourages kindness and respect; Inclusive Community, where everyone feels welcome and safe; and Justice & Solidarity, which teaches us to stand up for fairness and support each other. These values shape everything we do, helping Young People build confidence and a positive future.
