Why is there a case for change? Around 41 per cent of children in Frankston North start school developmentally vulnerable. The extreme disadvantaged experienced by this community is also reflected in student absenteeism, poorer learning and participation, and a proportionally higher rate of early school leavers in the region. By developing resilience to meet life’s challenges, and building aspiration and pride in young people and the wider community will mean that ‘every child and family in Frankston North is successful in learning and life’. What is the education plan? The Frankston North Education Plan outlines how Aldercourt Primary School, Mahogany Rise Primary School and Monterey Secondary College can best deliver education, health and wellbeing services that will transform the local community. It is a Victorian government initiative to help achieve the Education State objectives. Education services include early years, primary, secondary and adult education. Health and wellbeing services include building on the existing Doctors in Secondary Schools program. How was the Frankston North Education Plan developed? The plan has been shaped by education specialists from the Department of Education and Training (DET) and Monash University, who have worked with key stakeholders from the three schools. This included interviewing principals, teachers, parents and students to build a complete picture of school and community needs to fully understand the issues and gather ideas for change. A community consultation last October provided further input that also helped shape this plan. In addition, we established a strategic advisory group, made up of key leaders from local government, Department of Health and Human Services and other community agencies to assess this information, finalise goals and develop a plan of action. This group will continue to work with DET to turn the education, services and infrastructure strategies into reality for the Frankston North community. Next steps MID-2018 Provide an update to the community about how these recommendations will unfold for the Frankston North community. schoolbuildings.vic.gov.au
