Excellence Awards Webinar Series 2025 – Fundraising Event

Discover how Barker College turned vision into reality with their award-winning Indigenous Education Fundraising Dinner. In just four months, the Advancement team and community raised nearly $400,000 and achieving a 900% ROI to fund a cyclone-proof school building for Dhupuma Barker in North East Arnhem Land.

This inspiring case study will share how the team:

– Engaged alumni, corporate partners, and the wider school community in innovative ways
– Created unique fundraising opportunities, including a once-in-a-lifetime cultural trip that sold out in minutes
– Overcame challenges to maximise impact, raising over $1 million in 12 months towards the new school

Hear directly from Julie McAllister, Head of Advancement & Communications at Barker about their strategies, community engagement, and the lasting impact of this project on Indigenous education and cultural connection.
