Wednesday 28 January: All NEW Young People beginning their Ipswich Flexi enrolment attend

Thursday 29 January: All RETURNING Young People return to school (New Young People do not attend school today)

Renovations have continued onsite for Ipswich Flexible School and Ipswich Special School over the holiday break. A reminder that as of Tuesday 27 January, no cars can access our driveway for pick up, drop off and parking. This also applies to Flexi staff as well. All young people can be dropped off and collected in Milford Street beside the school grounds. The only entry and exit point for staff and young people is the Milford Street stairs entry. We appreciate your support regarding this matter as we prioritise Community safety for both young people, their families and staff.

We look forward to seeing all young people next week for an exciting Term 1 at Ipswich Flexi.

Good Afternoon Parents & Carers

After reviewing the current flash flooding event affecting Ipswich and surrounding areas, in the interest of young people and staff safety we have made the decision for Ipswich Flexible School to remain closed for Tuesday 11 March. Given the significant rainfall experienced around Ipswich and the Lockyer Valley, travelling to school may not be possible for most of the families in our community who have been impacted by this event.

To support our young people, we will be offering a lunch onsite at school tomorrow (Tuesday) between 12pm-1pm. Young people who wish to attend the lunch must be accompanied by a parent or carer. A reminder that we have no staff supervision at school.

We will provide an update by 3pm tomorrow with regards to reopening our school.
