The $26.2 million place-based education delivers life altering opportunities for families in the local community through a birth-to-adult model that breaks cycles of intergenerational disadvantage. The plan has seen increased investment in new facilities, resources and staff, centred around a partnership between the Schools, the Frankston City Council, the Department of Education and the Colman Foundation. Through this model, Monterey and its partner schools are at the centre of an ambitious, broad-reaching and life-changing community transformation that begins with high-quality education and achieves the plan¿s vision that ¿every child and family is successful in learning and life¿. Through the plan, Monterey Secondary College has undergone a period of rapid positive-transformation, as documented in The Age newspaper, in December 2021. ( https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/former-struggle-school-stuns-with-two-year-turnaround-20211219-p59irm.html ) Staff and student culture has turned around, setting a stable foundation for the ongoing success of the College.
