Developing Resilience and Emotional Intelligence
PURPOSE OF PROGRAM
The goal of the program is to know our learners and strategies to support them to achieve success and reach their potential in school and life. This is achieved by increasing student self-awareness, self-regulation and resilience. With the aim of maximising learning time measured through reduced school disciplinary absences (SDA) and increased attendance and academic achievement as identified in Education Queensland's Equity and Excellence education strategy.

This is achieved through explicit teaching of the Australian Curriculum's Personal and Social Capabilities and transferring this knowledge into practice through intentional contexts in the learning areas of English, Mathematics, Science, Health and Physical Education, Humanities and Social Science, The Arts and Technologies.
