New Project — Annesley Junior School Dare to Become Originally founded in in 1902, Annesley Junior School is the third iteration of this highly regarded South Australian education institution. Originally named the Methodist Ladies' College, the school catered to girls from reception to year 12. In 1977, the College was re-named Annesley College following the amalgamation of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches, forming the Uniting Church of Australia. In 2012 the school reformed as a junior school offering early learning classes through to year 6. Since its inception, Annesley Junior School's reputation has strengthened year on year to now be known as one of South Australia's fastest growing and in some respects, most progressive independent schools. An International Baccalaureate school, the school's mission is centred around a progressive and innovative approach to education that unapologetically focusses on the child’s education experience, in the here and the now. Celebrating their age and their stage, as well as their unique skills and passions. We were engaged to assist school leadership, working alongside school council and internal stakeholders, to develop the brand strategy, brand identity and activation strategy in order to ensure that the school's brand aligned with the progressive focus and long-term vision of the school. With a rich history, engaged community and a contemporary approach to education, the brand had to not only strongly consider these factors but also celebrate them. An intensive stakeholder engagement process was critical to the success of the outcome. Engaging not only teachers and staff but also parents and students. This helped inform and drive the strategy as well as ensuring buy in and support from the broader community. Working across every touchpoint, our strategic focus was to develop a brand that was uniquely aligned to Annesley's purpose and vision. Underpinned by the school motto, dare to become, the outcome is brave, courageous, bold and contemporary whilst honouring heritage and history. Each of the brand's assets combined, result in a highly expressive yet sophisticated branding outcome, that as previously mentioned, becomes uniquely aligned to Annesley's vision. A hugely successful brand launch was met with high praise whilst being embraced by the broader community and establishing Annesley Junior School as one of South Australia's leading junior primary schools.

Did you know that the glass building of NHL Stenden Hogeschool stays open until 10:00 PM? You might wonder why a university or college would keep its doors open until such a late hour, especially when there are hardly any students around at that time. However, I'd like to offer a different perspective. After 6:00 PM, the college indeed becomes deserted, which, for me personally, is quite a relief. The quietness that settles in makes it much easier to focus on work. For instance, I don't have a printer at home, whereas the college has several, which is incredibly convenient. Now, you might be thinking: why not just wait until the next day? That could be an option, but there are times when it's nice to know that you can utilize the college facilities without the pressure of class commitments. Especially during exam weeks, I easily spend three to four evenings a week at the college, sometimes until 9:30 or 10:00 PM. It's amusing to hear the announcement that the building is closing at those times. At the college, I find fewer distractions compared to being at home, even though it can sometimes be bustling. At home, there are always other chores vying for my attention, like cleaning or doing laundry. That's why I find it so pleasant that the college stays open, along with the perk of unlimited coffee and tea – what a wonderful invention! The fact that the college remains open until 10:00 PM provides us with a certain freedom. We have the flexibility to work at our own pace without being confined to strict opening hours. Let's not forget the importance of considering our sleep. It's tempting to work late into the night, but it's also crucial to take timely rest and relaxation. Below is this evening at NHL Stenden shortly before I left to go home. You can see the tiredness in my eyes. However, today I was a full day in Amsterdam for my education and I knew I still had to do some work, so it felt amazingly relaxing to have the option to finish my work within the building. What are your experiences and perspectives on this matter? #NHLStenden #Highereducation #Student #ITM #InternationalTourismManagement #EuropeanStudies #ThorbeckeAcademy

Collegiate recruiting has evolved, and so have the criteria that factor into athletes’ college decisions. The nation’s top recruits are no longer solely optimizing for on-field success, but rather considering the entire player experience including off-field entertainment and comfort. For the nation’s elite programs, the race for top talent has never been more competitive. Recognizing this shift, both universities and professional teams are heavily investing in state-of-the-art training facilities, designed to enhance in-game performance and off-field relaxation. https://lnkd.in/grrnBUmP
