Being the Business Manager or Bursar of an Independent school is a complex and challenging role. New Business Managers and Bursars can find themselves overwhelmed by the range of issues they need to consider on a day-to-day basis, as well as the amount of detailed knowledge required about each of these issues. They sometimes struggle to find out what it is that they do not know and where they can turn for advice and support.

The New Business Managers’ Program aims to provide participants with an overview of the wide range of tasks that fall to a Business Manager or Bursar, as well as delving into the details of some of the most crucial aspects of the role. This two-day program is a joint initiative between the Association of School Bursars and Administrators (VIC) Inc. (ASBAV) and Independent Schools Victoria (ISV), and is targeted at those Business Managers and Bursars who have been in their role for less than twelve months.

Previous participants' feedback about the program:

‘It was a wonderful and informative PD, and I enjoyed talking to the presenters as well as other people in the same job role as myself.’

‘This was my first ISV seminar, and I found it very helpful in giving me a broad overview of aspects I might encounter in my new position. The presenters were very friendly and helpful.’

Key takeaways               

• strong knowledge of the role in the context of independent schools
• expanded network of support.
