An Independent High School
A Sunshine Coast high school unlike any other
At Flinders, we are proud to be an independent school, which means we have the freedom to shape our own curriculum, values, and educational approach to best serve our students.
While other private schools may be governed by larger organisations, our independence allows us to focus on delivering a personalised and future-focused education that nurtures academic excellence, character development and a strong sense of community. This autonomy allows us to invest in innovative programs, work alongside outstanding educators and maintain small class sizes that ensure each student is known and supported.
When you choose Flinders, you’re choosing a school that prioritises your child’s individual growth and their future success.
Why we say Independent School and not private school?
At Matthew Flinders Anglican College, we are proud to be an independent school, meaning we operate under the governance of our College Board rather than a private entity or government system. While sometimes referred to as “private", independent schools like ours are bound by government policies, including curriculum and student welfare regulations, ensuring high standards of education and care. Our funding comes from a combination of federal contributions and school fees, allowing us to invest in exceptional learning opportunities, world-class facilities and a nurturing environment that supports every student’s success.
Our facilities and curriculum
At Flinders, we believe in the importance of innovative learning experiences. That’s why we have invested in state-of-the-art facilities like the Infinity Centre, a world-class space dedicated to dynamic and interactive education. From STEM programs to dramatic arts, this facility supports students in exploring their passions and preparing for the future.
Our curriculum is designed to challenge and inspire students, helping them excel across a broad range of subjects. As one of the most sought-after schools on the Sunshine Coast, we are committed to providing high-quality education that aligns with contemporary teaching methodologies.
