Hi Cheryl, our College goes to Canberra every year :) In the past we’ve used Murrays, Kangaroo Buslines, UnEarth’Ed and this year we’re using Away We Go Tours.
Our camp coordinator has said you can email him if you have any questions. His name is Paul and email address is primarycamps@genesis.qld.edu.au
Ta, Taryn.
17/04/2024 at 15:26 in reply to: Strategies for photo permission Opt-In and Impact of Recent Privacy Law Changes #33959Taryn ThomasForum ParticipantWe’re just about to implement School Bench for this purpose of complying with privacy laws. We used to include photo consent on enrolment forms but had no means for parents to agree, annually.
Taryn ThomasForum ParticipantHi Mandy, we’ve dropped out of most these now too. We still advertise in Private Schools Guide, but at the most basic package level. We get a half dozen or so enquiries a year through there. We’ve dropped WhichSchool most recently.
Taryn ThomasForum ParticipantWe used Eventbrite but have recently switched to MySchoolConnect, which offers an integrasted platform for tuckshop etc as well. It’s a bit clunky though as it’s fairly new. I think it will be really good in a few versions time!
Taryn ThomasForum ParticipantThis (big!) job sits with our Operations Director – so thankful it’s not in marketing!
Taryn ThomasForum ParticipantHi all, we’ve 99% decided to go with School Bench due to the fact it’s on prem, which our ICT preferred. Has anyone had any recent positive or negative experiences to share? Please feel free to email personally if required – t.thomas@genesis.qld.edu.au
Ta, Taryn.Taryn ThomasForum ParticipantWe launched our alumni program on our 30 year anniversary and also tied it into our Festival (fete)… so we were able to get more bang for our buck by running a few events concurrently. It was a big day, but it turned out really well (and it was 2021 so we were just happy it went ahead haha!)
Taryn ThomasForum ParticipantWe hold a breakfast and have a fun little Polaroid square that we get teachers to take selfies with. We also make a social media splash…. each year teachers get a small gift (eg branded pack of 4 small highlighters, a chocolate another year etc).

Taryn ThomasForum ParticipantWe’ve used both New Word Order and Look Education, super happy with both :) Both are Brisbane-based.
Taryn ThomasForum ParticipantHi Mandy, would you be happy to share an overview your Use of Student Images policy???
Taryn ThomasForum ParticipantWe have our media release built into our student enrolment contract, which works well. Although ISQ has suggested we now need to seek approval every 12 months (not sure if anyone else is implementing this?). For that reason, we’re looking at Pixevity and School Bench at the moment. Does anyone use TASS and either of these platforms? Thanks! Taryn @ Genesis
Taryn ThomasForum ParticipantWe currently use Flexischools but we’re just about to move over to My School Connect, which does event ticket sales on top of Tuckshop and Uniform Shop :)
