Upcoming events the SAP students can look forward to include a Disney Talent Contest and the Awesome Arts incursion.

23.01.2022 The Specialist Arts Program held a Disney Themed Talent Show this afternoon which showcased a range of art forms including Visual Arts, Dance, Drama, and Martial Arts! The students carefully selected/created their contribution for the show in their own time, and there was much debate over which songs would be best! Events like this give our students a chance to develop their confidence on stage and rehearse their skills for an audience in a supportive and fun environment. We were so impressed with all our students for getting on stage and presenting their work!

20.01.2022 Greg Hire, former Vice Captain of the Perth Wildcats, came and delivered a very important message to our year 8 students yesterday. Greg has launched his own charity ‘A Stitch in Time’ and is an a ambassador for Youth Focus, both driven by mental health.

Overcome mistakes and failures and using them as an opportunity to grow.

13.01.2022 Hedland Follow the Dream opened its doors to welcome students, their families and Alumni for an open night and BBQ. While guests mingled, it was clear that Follow the Dream has had a big impact on the Hedland community with some crediting the program with helping them - and multiple family members - achieve success at school and beyond. The program has a long and proud history in Hedland, officially launched in 2003 and known locally as PHEP: Port Hedland Education Partnershi...p, Kurtakalku Maya Learning home for kids. Since then the program has inspired many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to achieve WACE and go on to great things. Mr Thompson, Follow the Dream Coordinator, recently uncovered a treasure trove of old photos, displays and newspaper articles. These items were put on display at the event with many in attendance spotting a sea of familiar faces. After an Acknowledgement of Country from Rosie Pearson, guest speaker, Milarli Taylor spoke about his educational and professional journey. He completed year 12 in 2015 and successfully obtained a scholarship to attend the Australian National University in Canberra. He also spoke about studying in Switzerland and Finland. Mr Taylor is back in Hedland and is currently working as a Youth Programs Officer for the Town of Port Hedland located at the JD Hardie Youth Zone. The centre, which is currently undergoing renovations, is planned to reopen soon. It was great to see so many students, teachers and family members engaging in the Follow the Dream community.
