Central Flexible Learning
|
Centralian Senior College offers three unique flexible learning options.
Pathways is designed for aspirational students who are juggling work or vocational training (VET) while striving for their Northern Territory Certificate of Education (NTCET). This program blends VET offerings with online courses from the NT School of Distance Education (NTSDE), held in a dedicated space on the main campus. Students attend Pathways on days they aren't working or in VET classes, receiving support from CSC staff to successfully complete their NTCET. The program also fosters independence and job readiness.
Flexi Wellbeing caters to students who thrive in a low-stimulation environment, particularly those with social anxiety or who have struggled with regular school attendance. Located in a peaceful room at Charles Darwin University (CDU), close to the main campus, Flexi Wellbeing helps students work towards their NTCET or ATAR through NTSDE online courses. Flexible attendance plans are tailored to each student's needs, encouraging personal development and progress towards attendance goals.
Flexi Engage is ideal for students who learn best through methods outside the traditional classroom or who need support building their learning stamina. Held in a classroom on the main campus, Flexi Engage offers personalized learning plans designed to engage students at their individual level and preferences. Small group sizes and a lower teacher-student ratio ensure ample support to complete their NTCET, while modified learning plans empower students with agency and a sense of accomplishment. Access to social and emotional learning through the Gudjela Program further enhances student wellbeing.
The Arrernte people are the traditional owners of Mparntwe, which we know as Alice Springs. They have been here since time began. Arrernte people continue to live in Mparntwe, where they look after the country and teach children the Arrernte language and the importance of culture. According to the traditional owners, this place was shaped by caterpillars, wild dogs, travelling boys and many other ancestral figures. Some of the first Dreaming stories ever recorded were those of the Arrernte people of Central Australia. As a College we acknowledge that we are meeting on the traditional country of the Arrernte people, and we pay respect to Elders past and present. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land, which continue to be important to the Arrernte people living here today.
