We are excited to announce Polly Farmer Follow the Dream has been named the program of the year at the NAIDOC Perth awards!
The award recognises not-for-profit organisations delivering outstanding programs to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community in Perth.
Board chair Mandy Gadsdon, and vice chair and daughter of Polly Farmer Kim Farmer, were in attendance to receive the award, along with Follow the Dream program coordinator Dr Jennet Hansen and alumni Rebekah Delaney and Matthew Harris.
Special thanks to Dr Jennet Hansen from Sevenoaks Follow the Dream who nominated the Foundation for the award.
From the initial beginnings as the Gumala Mirnuwarni “coming together to learn” program of 23 students in Karratha in 1997, Follow the Dream has grown to over 3000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students participating annually in schools across Australia.
All Follow the Dream schools in WA are co-managed by the Department of Education WA.
