𝗦𝗔/𝗡𝗧 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿: 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆’𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹

Australia’s education landscape is shifting. Families are making enrolment decisions earlier, their expectations are evolving, and loyalty can no longer be assumed. This professional development day equips advancement professionals with the research, strategies and tools to respond.

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀
𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: Wednesday 15 July 2026
𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲: 2:30 – 6:00pm,
2:30pm – our of recently completed Emily Centre
3:00pm – Session 1
4:00pm – Afternoon Tea
4:30pm – Session 2

𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲: St Peters Girls’ School, Stonyfell Road, Stoneyfell, SA, 5066. Parking onsite off Stonyfell Road.
𝗧𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿: https://www.educateplus.edu.au/epevent/sa-nt-chapter-driving-enrolment-growth-through-data%E2%80%91led-brand-strategy/?{contact.checksum}&cid={contact.contact_id}

𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭 | 3.00pm draws on McCrindle’s nationally recognised social research to unpack what’s really driving enrolment trends — why families choose, stay, and leave. You’ll explore the enrolment journey through a data lens, identifying the friction points that erode loyalty and the levers schools can actually control.

𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮 | 4.30pm moves from insight to action. Learn how to translate data-led research into a differentiated brand strategy that cuts through a crowded market — building clarity, consistency and community advocates who amplify your school’s story.

Together, these sessions offer a rare combination: rigorous social research findings paired with practical marketing and engagement strategy — designed specifically for the realities of school advancement today

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
• Loyalty isn’t a given anymore – Families have more choices and higher expectations – knowing where and why you’re losing them changes everything.
• Research beats guesswork – The institutions winning on enrolments are making decisions backed by data, not instinct.
• Your community is your best marketing – A clear point of difference, consistently lived out, turns families into advocates

Afternoon Tea will be available between the two sessions, and for those wishing to continue the conversation, let us know if you are interested in joining fellow members for dinner at Feathers from 6.15pm (Please note that dinner is at your own expense).

Thank you to the SA/NT Chapter Committee who organised this event:
Rebecca Healy, Belinda Mears, Victoria Richardson, Joanna Arvanitis, Paul Bailey, David Botha, Sue Cvijanovic, Julie Dow, Anna Garcia, Joanna Gray, Vanessa Grave, Helen Karapandzic CFRE, Sophia Saracino, Lisa Taplin
