Drawing on theory, knowledge and skills developed throughout the Master of Education (Student Wellbeing) students will complete an individually negotiated project in which they undertake a workplace project, or an approved relevant educational experience. On completion of the prerequisite subject, EDUC90629 “Leading Change for Student Wellbeing”, students will be required to submit a project proposal (hurdle requirement) for approval by the beginning of the semester.

The Capstone project will culminate with students synthesizing their project findings in a written report incorporating a reflection on the key learnings gained from their studies in the Master of Education (Student Wellbeing). Students will also provide an oral presentation of their findings (hurdle requirement).
