Another deserving win for Toowoomba Flexi School

Congratulations to 2010 NAB Schools First National Award winner, Centenary Heights State High School - Toowoomba Flexi School,  for winning the Inclusive Education section of the Education Queensland Showcase Awards last week. The win is based on the documented and tracked differences an individual case management approach makes to students enrolled at the school, highlighting, among others, that Year 10 students who entered Flexi had a reading age of Year 3 but graduated with fine resumes and clear career paths.
