What a fantastic afternoon at our NSW/ACT Chapter Special Interest Group event hosted by International Grammar School, with more than 100 advancement and business professionals coming together to learn, share, and connect. It was wonderful to welcome so many new faces, including colleagues joining us from ASBA, for a rich afternoon of conversation around the intersection of Marketing, Admissions, and People & Culture in schools.

Our People & Culture panel explored the challenge of attracting and retaining the right people in an increasingly competitive staffing market, with thoughtful discussion around workplace culture, leadership, and what helps schools build thriving teams. Thank you to Kate Larkin (Beaumont People), Bree Bond, and Derrick McCarthy (Norwest Christian College) for sharing their expertise.

Our Admissions panel unpacked the often invisible work of admissions teams, discussing peak enrolment pressures, resourcing challenges, and the strategic impact admissions has on shaping school growth and sustainability. Thank you to Sarah Barker (Wenona), Mark Elkington (Norwest Christian College), and Richard Arkell (Meriden) for such a practical and insightful discussion.

In Marketing & Communications, Brad Entwistle from imageseven led a hands-on session exploring generative AI, prompt creation, workflow efficiencies, and the importance of maintaining school voice and identity in an AI-enabled world.

A huge thank you to our host, International Grammar School, to Georgia Barnes and Acting Principal Thom Marchbank, to our speakers and panellists, and to everyone who joined us for such a valuable afternoon of learning and connection.
