Report – Admissions Special Interest Group

What did we learn at the 2016 International Conference?

Friday 17 March marked the first Admissions SIG for 2017, kindly hosted by Presbyterian Ladies’ College.

The panel consisted of Sarah Gatica-Lara (Christ Church Grammar School), Julie Cole (Sacred Heart College) and Jo Haynes (Hale School). The topic of conversation was what were the ‘take-aways’, both positive and negative, from the 2016 Educate Plus international conference.

Following the panel, an open forum discussed:

Janus Consulting Registrars Conference – a few people are attending and they will present a report at our next SIG.
School Registration – A few schools are currently going through the registration process so there was a conversation about this topic
International Student Visas- What is the impact of these visas only being available for two years for Primary School?
