the plunge into a new industry by joining Rockhampton Girls Grammar School. Soon after, I joined Educate Plus, excited to learn more about this dynamic industry. Attending the <strong>Educate Plus Empowering Success International Conference<\/strong>, thanks to the Newcomer Scholarship, was a gamechanger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Top Three Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>T-Rex or Kangaroo?<\/strong> Lynne Wester\u2019s Keynote resonated deeply. I had been a \u2018T-Rex\u2019 in my previous role, set in my ways. Now, I\u2019m embracing my inner \u2018Kangaroo\u2019\u2014 eager to learn and adapt. Both mindsets are valuable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Extended Customer Journey<\/strong>. Margo Bastow\u2019s session taught me how the student journey extends well beyond enrolment, through to post-graduation. This shift in thinking now shapes our Marketing strategies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shared Purpose<\/strong>. Above all, the Conference reminded me that we\u2019re united by one goal: providing quality education. The connections made and insights gained will undoubtedly shape my work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kaitlyn-graham-8818bb256\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaitlyn Graham<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nMarketing Coordinator<br \/>\nRockhampton Girls Grammar School<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; QLD Excellence Awards: Presented at the Educate Plus International Conference, held in Perth, Australia, 10-13 September 2024\u00a0 We are thrilled to celebrate the success of our members and their institutions.\u00a0 &nbsp; Fellow Awards: \u00a0 Penny Bowman QLD Chapter Committee Development and Community Engagement Manager Sommerville House Claire Grlj QLD Chapter President Educate Plus Board [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-1150","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/educateplus-qld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/1150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/educateplus-qld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/educateplus-qld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/educateplus-qld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1150"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/educateplus-qld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/educateplus-qld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
