Meet one of your dedicated NSW-ACT Committee members – Julia Glass. Julia is \u00a0the committee’s Alumni SIG\/PD Coordinator and is the Director of\u00a0Advancement at\u00a0International Grammar School in Sydney.<\/p>\n

What do you like most about Educate Plus?<\/h4>\n

I love the opportunity to network with people in similar roles from different schools and universities, the collegiality and the sharing nature of the community.<\/p>\n

How has Educate Plus helped you in your career development? \u00a0<\/h4>\n

The professional development opportunities I have participated in with Educate Plus have been invaluable. Equally, so many generous colleagues have shared their tips, tricks and challenges with me. I have also had the fantastic opportunity of leading the State Chapter Conference (in 2015), being a part of the Chapter Committee, and sitting on the International Conference Committee for 2018.<\/p>\n

What is the most rewarding part of your Director of Advancement role at International Grammar School?<\/h4>\n

I enjoy being able to interact with so many different community members across the School, from teachers to parents to students.<\/p>\n

Who would you like to be for a day?<\/h4>\n

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, she\u2019s such an inspiration!<\/p>\n

Favourite movie?<\/h4>\n

Am\u00e9lie \u2013 it\u2019s so whimsical and magical.<\/p>\n

Who has had the biggest impact on your career thus far and why?<\/h4>\n

Our Principal Shauna Colnan, she has really empowered me in my role at IGS, to be all I can be and to always strive for improvement.<\/p>\n

Favourite travel spot?<\/h4>\n

I would have to say France, I lived and worked in Paris for close to four years and learned French all throughout school (at IGS!) and just love the culture. I dream of going to Corsica and Provence in the not too distant future.<\/p>\n

What does being an Educate Plus member mean to you? <\/h4>\n

It means that I have the opportunity to meet so many new people, to learn and to present.<\/p>\n

How do you define success?<\/h4>\n

Success is being comfortable with who you are, and having the confidence to adhere to your own set of values and beliefs, whilst respecting those of others around you.<\/p>\n

Tell us something about you that might surprise us.<\/h4>\n

I love to be inspired by celebrity chefs and so far I\u2019ve met Yotam Ottolenghi and Rick Stein! I\u2019ve also seen Nigella and Jamie live at the Sydney Opera House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
