**About Us**:
QETC's Student Wellbeing and Personal Development Program is based on a belief that an effective curriculum for youth offenders must include coverage of a wide range of general capabilities. A model of desistance has informed the development of the Student Wellbeing and Personal Development Program with 10 factors underpinning the learning experiences provided. The program is multifaceted and links to the school's Teaching and Learning Philosophy and Positive Behaviour for Learning program, as well as the Australian Curriculum (Version 9.0) Personal and Social Capability; the department's Student Learning and Wellbeing Framework and Respectful Relationships Education Program. The key objective is to support young offenders to become successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and active and informed citizens.

- Monitor post program support as required and conduct one-on-one interviews with program attendees (students, youth workers, school support staff) to record and understand thoughts and experiences of individuals attending Wellbeing and Personal Development programs.
