Albert Park Flexible Learning Centre

Our Story

Albert Park Flexible Learning Centre (APFLC) began in 1990 at the Albert Park Amphitheatre as an education initiative by the Brisbane City Council for homeless young people. It was founded by Gwen Zietsch.

In 2000 the Albert Park Flexi School (as it was then known) moved to the Lady Bowen Building in Spring Hill and finally to its current location at 1 Hale Street Brisbane in 2004. Albert Park Flexible Learning Centre became a registered school through Edmund Rice Education in 2006 and is now part of Edmund Rice Education Australia, a national and unified network of Australian schools and educational entities.

Albert Park Flexible Learning Centre is a community founded on the principles Rights, Respect, Relationship, Responsibility and Safe and Legal. Young people are central to their education and are consulted in all decisions affecting their education and attendance.

Albert Park Flexible Learning Centre is a co-educational learning community catering for young people between 15 and 25 years of age. Albert Park Flexible Learning Centre offers a families program and young parents are welcome and encouraged. Young people are enrolled in either year 11 or 12 and are registered for the Queensland Certificate of Education through the Queensland Studies Authority.
