Find the best pathway to achieving your goals!

MacKillop Catholic College offers a range of resources for students to explore as they navigate future possibilities beyond school. Based in the Flexible Learning Centre, our careers practitioner is the student’s strategist for life after school. Students can drop in during break times or make an appointment with families to map out all possible options, from university and TAFE to apprenticeships, traineeships, and direct employment.

Flexible Learning

Students working or enrolled in alternate educational pathways have the opportunity to study in the Flexible Learning Centre. The role of the Flexible Learning team is to assist students with catching up on their mainstream subjects or to support them in engaging with alternative education options.

The Flexible Learning team provides additional support to students in a quiet study environment and supports mainstream subject teachers with helping students to complete their academic tasks.
