5Rs Partnership Success Stories

Helen Anania

Principal St Kevin’ Primary School, Ormond, Australia

“Your presentation was really helpful yesterday and it has made me rethink a few strategies and thoughts I’ve had about marketing.”

Shane Regan

Principal, St John Vianney’s School, Australia

“Thanks very much for the great PD today, your input has helped me to focus what we are trying to do.”

Irena Smetánková

Admissions Registrar, The English College in Prague, Czech Republic

“I attended the COBIS 5th Conference for Marketing, Development and Admissions in March in Bucharest and I found your talk about building school reputation very interesting and inspiring. In his talk on Building a world class reputation, Dr Holmes brought up a number of important insights into the process of building a reputation of a school. The principal message I took home was that a solid reputation can only be built on values and actions and not by advertising. He also stressed the long-term nature of the concept and the importance of sustainability. For me, the whole strategy is summarized in the idea of a “Reputation Manager” instead of a “Marketing Manager”.”
