Special Interest Group Nudgee

Admissions

We were delighted to have Colin Anson from Pixevety to present to the Admissions Special Interest Group. Colin is passionate about privacy issues surrounding the use of photographs in schools.

He was able to outline to those in attendance the implications of new privacy laws and offered advice to all us about how we can work to comply with these requirements.

This part of the presentation was followed by a brief demonstration of his platform, Pixevety. We were able to see the facial recognition elements work to identify individual students from group photos. Something all schools would find an advantage.

We are grateful to Colin who flew from Melbourne to be with us. Also thanks to Nudgee College for hosting us so well.

Fundraising

Jeff Buchanan, a Senior Consultant at AskRIGHT, joined the Queensland members at Nudgee College and shared his insights at our Fundraising Special Interest Group.

Jeff outlined tips to prepare for fundraising success, highlighting the importance of a fundraising audit to review your organisation’s progress across all areas. From a strategic fundraising plan, gaining the support of the Schools Executive, evaluating your projects and prospects, Jeff’s insights encourage the practitioner to focus on their core business, delivering more efficient and effective results.

Jeff has 20 years’ experience as a professional fundraiser and consultant, achieving considerable success for several organisations, and recognised by his peers for national awards. We are grateful to Jeff for sharing his expertise and know-how with the Queensland Chapter.
