The Graham (Polly) Farmer Foundation, WA Department of Education, BHP and the school community established the Hedland Follow the Dream program in 2003 – It was known as PHEPs (Port Hedland Educational Partnerships). Today, the program supports the academic aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to reach their potential by maintaining high rates of school attendance, lifting academic performance and improving graduation rates. The program is focused on the long-term goal of students successfully completing secondary education and moving into successful post-school pathways including university, apprenticeships, traineeships or direct employment.
