Two Countries, a Lot of Kilometres

Far North Queensland and South Africa, in the same week.

Four days in Far North Queensland

From 15 to 18 September, Amanda was on the road with our schools in Townsville and Cairns. In Townsville she visited St Patrick's College, Townsville Christian College and Calvary Christian College. In Cairns it was Peace Lutheran College, Trinity Anglican School and Freshwater Christian College.

The agenda at almost every stop was the same: what is new, getting ready for rollover to 2027, and the Intake Workflow. She also caught up with the Kinetic teams in both cities, who run the buses on the road every day.

Thank you to everyone who made time for her. Those conversations shape what we build next.

Across the Indian Ocean to Durban

The same week, Dean took the RollCall stand to the SAHISA 2026 Conference in Durban, from 13 to 16 September. SAHISA, the Southern African Heads of Independent Schools Association, brings together school heads from across the region, and this year it met at the Southern Sun Elangeni on Durban's beachfront.

Two days on the exhibition floor meant a lot of conversations with school heads about getting students to and from school safely. Thank you to ISASA, SAHISA and the organising committee for having us.
