Summary:The FOCUS pilot program, run jointly by Maroondah Council and Heathmont College, proved highly successful in supporting Year 10 students whose needs weren’t being met in mainstream classes. The program combined academic learning, vocational training, and personal development: three days a week on literacy and numeracy, one day of work experience with local businesses, and one day building confidence, communication, health and self‑management skills. Of the 17 students enrolled, 15 completed the year, with several moving into further study or employment. Heathmont College presented a plaque to council manager Edith Farrell, who praised the initiative as an important alternative for students at risk of leaving school early. (Co-Pilot 27/6/2026).
