The Brisbane Youth Education and Training Centre is a Department of Education school, operating inside the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre at Wacol. Established in 2001, it is a purpose-built, state-of-the-art school which reflects the Queensland Government's vision of supporting and promoting the wellbeing and capacity of young people in detention.

Our staff are passionate about helping improve the knowledge, skills and abilities of our students, many of whom have had disrupted or negative schooling experiences. We seek to educate the whole person by providing opportunities for growth, development and learning, which will prepare young people for a balanced, worthwhile future.
