The Albany Follow the Dream programme is proudly hosted by Albany Senior High School and supports almost 70 aspirational students from Albany Senior High School, North Albany Senior High School, Mount Barker Community College, and Denmark Senior High School.

Students selected to join the programme show strong signs of success within their schooling and would like extra academic and pastoral support to achieve their full potential.

In order to become part of Follow The Dream, students must have high levels of school attendance, behaviour and academic achievement.

The program aims to steadily increase the number of Indigenous students completing Year 12 and going on to further study. Higher levels of education open doors to excellent employment opportunities, with the prospect of eventually moving into meaningful work at a highly skilled level. The Follow the Dream Program helps Indigenous students to set their sights on such opportunities and take the necessary steps to achieve their goals.

“Without it, I wouldn’t have been as focussed; I wouldn’t have got the work done. The tutoring allowed me to get the grades I wanted.”
