SA/NT Chapter Annual General Meeting (AGM) & Professional Development

Join us for an evening of camaraderie at the Educate Plus SA/NT Chapter Annual General Meeting and what is looking to be a great Professional Development session.

The AGM is an opportunity to learn more about the work being done at a Chapter level, both current initiatives and achievements, as well as future goals.

Following the AGM, we are pleased to welcome John Groom, Director of Advancement & Alumni Engagement at The Hutchins School, Tasmania, as our guest speaker. John will share insights on the highly successful Make Your Mark Campaign, which has raised over $21 million to fund the N J Edwards Hub, a state-of-the-art multi-purpose school facility. 

This campaign has set a benchmark in the independent school sector, and John’s experience and knowledge will offer valuable takeaways for anyone involved in similar projects. 

Any schools considering or undertaking capital development projects are encouraged to invite their College leadership, Foundation Board and Council members to attend this session, which will be a valuable opportunity to gain insights into campaign planning and implementation from one of the most successful projects in the sector.
