SA Chapter: From Vision to Reality: Prince Alfred College Preparatory School Redevelopment

Join your SA Chapter Colleagues for a behind-the-scenes look at the new Prince Alfred College Preparatory School development and the journey that brought it to life.
Through a tour of the new buildings and presentations from the Director of Philanthropy and Director of Marketing, we’ll share how a capital campaign, thoughtful stakeholder engagement, strategic communications and placemaking came together to turn a vision into a reality. We’ll share what worked, what challenged us and what we learned along the way.
Whether you’re planning a new build, preparing for a campaign or simply interested in how others have approached a major development, we hope you’ll leave with practical ideas and fresh inspiration.

Key Takeaways

• Campaign strategy in practice | Learn how to translate a vision into a compelling fundraising proposition and build support through a capital campaign.
• Communicating through change | Take away practical approaches to stakeholder engagement, project communications and managing expectations throughout a major development.
• Placemaking as an engagement tool | Discover how thoughtful placemaking can strengthen community connection, reinforce organisational values and create a sense of ownership among stakeholders.
