Honouring traditions & creating your own
Traditions play a vital role on how students, alumni and the wider community form a connection with their school. Hear from practitioners from a variety of school backgrounds as they share the components that make a tradition, how to establish traditions (or sunset traditions) and workshop their own ideas with peers. This session is an opportunity to speak about the history and success of some key traditions, share any roadblocks you have encountered when trying to sunset traditions that didn’t fit with your strategic plan, and finally to showcase any innovative traditions you have since established.

Building Philanthropic Cultures at Independent and International Schools
Cultures of philanthropy are always difficult to build, but international and independent schools have their own unique needs. This session will provide you with the tools to measure what a culture of philanthropy looks like, share proven engagement tools at both independent and international schools, and recommend ways to set expectations around how long it takes to change culture. Unique challenges such as staff turnover, the role of annual giving, and the value of having participation goals, will be addressed. There will also be a specific focus on 'insider giving': how to engage your leadership and governance structures in institutional fundraising. This session will also discuss short case studies from several independent Australian and Southeast Asian schools..
