Port Augusta Follow The Dream Program (FTD)

Established in 2006, students from Years 7 - 12 attend the dedicated Enrichment Centre up to three afternoons per week after school.

The Follow the Dream (FTD) program in Port Augusta supports Aboriginal students in years 7 鈥� 12, who aspire to successfully complete their secondary schooling, show aptitude for learning, and demonstrate a positive approach towards education.

Throughout the academic year, students also engage in a range of extra-curricular activities that broaden their horizons, build resilience, develop confidence and promote cultural pride.聽The program introduces students to a wealth of experiences, opens their eyes to a huge range of post-school pathways, and encourages them to dream big. Students who are part of the ‘Follow the Dream Family’ gain a sense of identity, belonging, and purpose. Not only do they embark on a positive post-school pathway, but they emerge as strong role models for their peers, siblings and wider community.

Follow the Dream program is a partnership between 最新麻豆视频, Graham (Polly) Farmer Foundation, State and Australian Government Departments and Private and Philanthropic sponsors.
