The Educate Plus Empowering Success International Conference offered invaluable insights that I am eager to implement at St Paul’s Grammar School.

My Top Three Takeaways:

  1. Sponsorship programs: John Phillips highlighted the potential of establishing a Sponsorship Program. This innovative Fundraising strategy not only generates financial support but also fosters community connections through events. I now recognise the potential for creating valuable opportunities for our students, such as work experience and cadetships.
  2. Holistic customer journey: Margo Bastow emphasised the importance of a cohesive customer journey in Admissions and Marketing. By collaborating with our Enrolments team, I plan to enhance the experience for prospective students and their families.
  3. Engaging digital content: Through Vikki Maver’s practical strategies for writing effectively for a distracted audience, I learned the significance of crafting clear, punchy, and benefit-focused content. This approach will enhance our communication and inspire action, ensuring that our messages resonate.
