Educating for Excellence in Learning and Life
At Matthew Flinders Anglican College on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, we provide an education for excellence in learning and life. Founded in 1990, our aim is to nurture a holistic, vibrant and caring learning environment for our 1,360 students from Prep to Year 12.
At Flinders, every student is supported to reach their academic potential, embrace rich co-curricular opportunities, and develop their character and skills for health and wellbeing.
You are invited to view our interactive map and book a personalised tour of our rainforest-fringed campus. Discover for yourself why Flinders is one of Queensland's leading schools.
Our Flinders Early Learning Centre is also a highly respected offering, with its child-centred Reggio Emilia experience to ensure our youngest learners enjoy inviting, fun and creative adventures.
Learning at Flinders
Matthew Flinders Anglican College has a proven record of academic excellence, and is consistently ranked amongst the top schools in Queensland.
Our students thrive in a culture of deep learning through personalised and holistic learning opportunities across all areas of the curriculum.
Extension programs such as our Cambridge International Curriculum in Mathematics, our Music Edge programs and our Flinders Elite Athlete Program challenge high-achieving students to reach their potential. Meanwhile, such opportunities as our international Round Square membership enable our students to contribute to a better world.
Flinders' strong academic reputation is a reflection of students who are motivated to learn and excel; teachers who inspire curiosity and confidence; and a College community that cares. Student wellbeing is a priority, and we ensure our students have access to a strong support network.
We want every child to understand that they are seen, cared for, listened to, respected and supported by a strong and caring school community.
Welcome

It is a privilege to be the fourth Principal of Matthew Flinders Anglican College. As one of the pre-eminent schools in Queensland, we are proud to provide excellence in education in a co-educational setting.
All fine schools look to engage the heart and soul, the body and mind. One of the very best things about Flinders is the positive climate for learning present throughout our College. Students are at the heart of our work, and the breadth and depth of their involvement are extraordinary. The staff are professional and dedicated, and demonstrate a shared commitment to our students’ education.

These core values are central to our students developing the character and competencies for a rewarding and successful life of leadership, wellbeing and contribution in the wider world.

Acknowledgement to Country
Matthew Flinders Anglican College acknowledges the traditional owners of the land upon which our campus is built, the Kabi Kabi people, who have walked and cared for this land, the Mooloolah Plains, for thousands of years; and their descendants who maintain their spiritual connection and traditions.
We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging; and we also extend that respect to all other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, knowing that they hold the dreams and hopes of First Nations Australians.
