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

Opening Plenary: The Role of Schools in Education Futures 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. Forum, The Lilley Centre, Ground Floor |
