    Navigate the World of Philanthropy for Heads of Schools, Board Members and Business Managers

    Funding in the education sector has changed significantly over the last five years, so schools are turning to campaigns focused on growing endowments and building infrastructure. To this end the spotlight is now on increased leadership involvement in fundraising, greater governance and ethics, data analytics and technology-supported decision making.

    During this session, Heads of Schools, Business Managers and Board Directors/Trustees will hear from leaders in their field of philanthropy and education, to help realise unprecedented growth in their fundraising operation.

    The Heads of Schools Forum is developed and curated by:

    Heather Hamilton, Executive Director - Advancement and Community Relations, Brisbane Grammar School

    Emma Silva, Director of Advancement, United Nations International School of Hanoi

    Tony Bretherton, Director of Development and Community Relations, Xavier College

    Petrina Gilmore, Fundraising Executive, Brisbane Grammar School

    Opening Plenary: The Role of Schools in Education Futures
    David Robertson, Executive Director, Independent Schools Queensland

    Evidence shows that autonomy combined with strong leadership produces better outcomes for students, and each school's individual circumstances must be accounted for to achieve improvement. While options for future reform are many, an emphasis on quality will make the most significant impacts on overall education performance in our classrooms. Reforms need to be undertaken collaboratively with all schooling sectors including: choice and diversity; demand for new schools; school improvement; teacher quality; early learning; student outcomes and personalisation; internationalisation and global citizenship; 21st century skills and technologies; and rigorous curriculum and assessment. David will also draw on Queensland's projected population growth and school infrastructure needs as a Case Study.
