North East Victoria Flexible Learning Network is part of WSSC and has campuses in Wodonga, Benalla, Seymour and Shepparton. All young people should be able to thrive in mainstream school however we know that for a small percentage of students this is not always possible. Flexible Learning Centres provide educational opportunities for young people who have disengaged from school or where a mainstream school learning environment is seen to be inappropriate to meet the young person¿s needs.
Most young people would like to be attending an educational setting and learning. With the  strong belief that ¿students will give the best that they have got¿, in other words, if they could do better at school, they would. The intention of our Flexible Learning Centres is to re-introduce students to learning to the extent that they are able to be successful, to build upon these successes, to develop their learning potential and plan for a successful adult pathway.
All eight campuses and sites operate and firmly believe in our guiding motto: Every student, Every Opportunity, Success for All. For more information about the schools in the local area please see:
