Our students are young leaders in the school community and regularly take on leadership roles at special school events and assemblies, including NAIDOC and Reconciliation Week.
Many Follow the Dream students are also members of the School Representative Council. In 2016 the Program was on the metropolitan advisory committee for the Commissioner for Children and Young People.
Swan View Follow the Dream students continue to spread their wings and many of our students have been selected for state wide, national and even international leadership programs. The students truly embody the school’s motto ‘Dream, Believe, Achieve’.
