91´óÉñ

91´óÉñ Flinders Anglican College lies at the foothills of Buderim on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast. Founded in 1990, we nurture students from the Flinders Early Learning Centre and the Preparatory Year all the way up to Year 12 as graduates. A co-educational independent College, Flinders offers a dynamic and healthy master-planned campus that blends with the natural, sub-tropical environment.

It is a time for growth and innovation at Flinders as we commit to our Flinders Masterplan. The project builds on our reputation for quality, excellence and innovation and provides contemporary learning spaces for our 1,400 students from Prep to Year 12.

In January 2024, the College opened its state-of-the-art Infinity Centre, offering Secondary students a dedicated precinct to actively explore Design Thinking pedagogy and gain diverse skills across a range of subjects.

The Masterplan also delivered the new Year 7 Precinct, Flagship Centre for our Years 5 and 6 students and new Wonderarium learning centre for our Primary students.

Flinders also boasts many exceptional educational, creative arts and sporting facilities, including our Performance Centre; Flinders Aquatic Centre; and other top sports facilities, including two multi-purpose floodlit sports fields.

Our Chapel of St Nicholas provides a calm and reflective place for our College community. There is also the Flinders Shop for uniforms and books; the Quarterdeck Cafe, two college tuckshops with a commercial kitchen and the Flinders Farm with long-time resident, Erol the Emu.

Performance Centre

At the entry to our College is the impressive Performance Centre, used by students across both our Primary and Secondary Schools as well as the local community for hire.

The Performance Centre enables our College to facilitate assemblies, rehearsals, learning projects, personal development workshops, guest presentations, design summits, musical productions, concerts and more.

What's more, the Centre enables our students to experience learning within and presenting on stage of a state-of-the-art facility that is equal to professional theatres and venues. It was designed to extend the choices of teaching methods at Flinders. As well as the 600-seat main stage Performance Centre venue, there is also a 120-seat traditional Drama Theatre and a more intimate 90-seat Experimental Theatre.

The Performance Centre is also available for hire. For more information, please contact peformancecentre@mfac.edu.au.

Specialised Learning Spaces

At Flinders, we recognise that contemporary learning spaces help to support effective teaching and learning. Here we feature specialist learning spaces that complement Flinders’ classrooms and learning precincts.

Media HQ
The Media HQ at 91´óÉñ Flinders Anglican College is a dedicated space for students from Years 7 to 12. Students use the space to explore areas of Media Arts and Film, Television and New Media. Students learn through activities such as brainstorming story ideas, filming on the green screen or editing products on larger monitors.

The intention is for students to feel that anything is possible in the space and they are supported with the facilities, technology and teaching support to create media.

The Flinders Farm is a half-hectare property on-site at the College. It is used as a vibrant, hands-on learning hub for Flinders’ more than 1,400 students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12.

The Flinders Farm boasts three varieties of mandarin trees, multiple vegetable gardens, nine productive bee hives, two ducks named Peking and Webster, chickens, four Dorper sheep and Erol the emu who came to the College as a chick from the Forest Glen Deer Sanctuary 22 years ago.

Through Agriculture Science in Year 9 as well as custom workshops and lunchtime visits, the students are able to learn vital skills such as how to build veggie gardens, make nutrient-rich soil, design and implement fertigation systems, grow food and compost. Students also help the Farm's expert manager to harvest the honey, which is up for sale, and then turn the waste materials into beeswax for candles and other products.

The Outdoor Classroom is a special learning and creative zone for our Primary School students. The open-air nature space is fringed by rainforest and features tree log seats and recycled palette tables.

The Flinders community is able to purchase nutritious, fresh and healthy food from two College tuckshops and the Quarterdeck Cafe, which are managed by Chartwells.

Chartwells have extensive experience over more than 30 years and are committed to delivering a fresh, quality catering service to support the health and wellbeing of our students, staff and wider community.

The Secondary School Tuckshop has a modern, fully-equipped commercial kitchen which also services the second tuckshop in the Primary School. The aim is to provide students and staff with good quality breakfast, lunch, morning tea and afternoon tea alternatives that are nutritionally responsible and reasonably priced.

Quarterdeck Café

The Flinders campus has its very own cafe, the Quarterdeck Café, which is a friendly and welcoming place for students, staff and parents in the College community as well as people from the wider community.

It is open from 7:30am to 3:30pm on school days, and has indoor seating as well as seating outdoors on the lovely large deck area framed by lush gardens.

At last count, the cafe served close to 900 drinks each week, including its delicious signature organic coffee and teas, smoothies, fruit juices and other drinks.

The food menu provides an array of options and weekly specials, including wraps, salads, sushi, soups in the cooler months, and plenty of tempting sweet treats of cakes and slices.
