Cleveland Education &
Training Centre (CETC) is a Department of Education school, operating within the Cleveland Youth Detention Centre at Townsville. The catchment area for the Centre comprises the
area graphically north from Rockhampton, west to the border and Island
communities off the Queensland coastline.
CETC offers a range of pathways and employment
focussed VET courses to assist a young person to close individual skills gaps,
develop language, develop positive behaviours and social skills and gain
knowledge and skills which are a prerequisite for further study or a pathway to
employment. Younger students
study programs aligned to the Australian Curriculum, designed to
assist them to return to mainstream schooling.
Our staff have the responsibility to build trusting relationships with the young people, to encourage them to achieve success and self-respect, to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes that will help them make positive life choices and open up pathways where they can be reintegrated into society as successful citizens.
