Description
This study examines an alternative education program for students displaying challenging behaviours in mainstream schools in Queensland. It identifies how some students are disempowered in both mainstream schools and alternative education and how this leads to ongoing challenging behaviours. This thesis draws on Bourdieu's theories of habitus, cultural and social capital as well as resistance theory (Willis, 1977) and identifies a novel capital termed as justice capital as an unrecognised resource with the potential to empower these students to achieve greater educational success. The study concludes that providing effective alternative education pathways necessitates providing educational experiences that empower these students.
