At risk students in Alice Springs will soon return back to a permanent school building after weeks of being unable to attend class as they were moved off the premises.

 

Students at St Joseph’s Flexible Learning Centre had to move from its previous premises at the end of last year to make way for the planned $150 million national Indigenous art gallery.

 

Despite the school’s new building not being ready at the start of the term, the school worked to hold classes with staff attempting to conduct home visits for its 75 students.

 

Gerard Keating, principal of Youth+ Central West Flexi Schools Network, which runs St Joseph’s says its very frustrating for the students.
