1. ACARA versus Census Data
Comparing data can be difficult. Here at Spectrum Analysis, we have compared ACARA and Census data and found that between 2016 and 2021, the Catholic Education system is losing market share whilst Independent Schools seem to be gaining market share. See more details at https://spectrumanalysis.com.au/blog/comparing-data-can-be-difficult

2. Planning for 2023
Whether you are a Principal, Business Manager, Director of Admissions, Advancement, Operations or Marketing (or one of the many other titles schools use), is now the time for a more “data-driven” approach when preparing your plans for 2023 and beyond? At Spectrum Analysis, we assist you with whatever level of analysis you feel is appropriate for your school, college or university. Many schools request a full Analysis where we answer questions around population, growth, socio-economics and even operational issues such as bus routing and usage.

Other schools take a more do-it-yourself DIY approach and purchase our GeoMapping Plus product, either with or without their own students data mapped. Either way, we believe our work helps schools use a much more data-driven approach to their very important future planning decisions. https://spectrumanalysis.com.au/services/education-analysis

3. Catholic Development Network Elevate Conference
Peter Buckingham has been invited to speak at the Catholic Development Network Elevate Conference on the 25th November 2022 at the Rendezvous Hotel in Melbourne https://cdn.edu.au/conference/conference-detail on ‘Hope is not a strategy’ at 9:30am outlining the demographics and mapping information you can use for effective business decisions. At 2:30pm, he will be part of a Marketing 101 Q&A Panel discussing the data available for future marketing decisions. Please say hello to Peter if you are attending!

4. Education Industry Support in 2022
What a year Spectrum Analysis has had with schools! So far we have actively participated in various education industry events and conferences in Australia and New Zealand including:
• Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia AHISA – Leading, Learning and Caring Conference in Melbourne
• Educate Plus – International Conference in Adelaide
• Lutheran Education – Australian Conference in Melbourne
• Catholic Education Business Administrators CEBA – Conference in Melbourne
• Independent Schools New Zealand ISNZ – Conference in Wellington NZ
We would like to thank the organisers of all of these conferences for the opportunity to participate and share our expertise.

 5. Schools Projects in 2022
Spectrum Analysis has undertaken 25 full Schools Projects in 2022, and we are looking forward to an even busier 2023. Our GeoMapping Plus product is widely used within schools through our affiliation with Somerset Education. To learn more, please read our free e-book or contact us to discuss your future needs. https://spectrumanalysis.com.au/wp-content/uploads/20220125-demographics-and-mapping-for-schools-colleges-and-universities-peter-buckingham.pdf

6. Farewell to Dorianne Spiteri
Dorianne joined the Spectrum Analysis team in March 2021 and has recently secured a new opportunity as the Annual Giving Manger with the Austin Foundation and Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre. Whilst she is very sorry she didn’t get the chance to say goodbye in person, she would like to wish everyone all the best. Thanks Dorianne for all of your great work over the last two years!

7. How To Get More Followers On Your LinkedIn Profile Or Page
