Turning busy-work into meaningful-work

At Bolsta, I’ve worked with schools navigating the chaos of trying to plan five or 10 years into the future, while struggling to find time to write a social media post for next week.

Every school has different priorities, different families, and different leadership teams — so cut-and-paste strategies rarely get you ahead.
Instead, we focus on the parent experience. Using thoughtful tools and insights, we’ll help you uncover what families need, what they care about, and where you might be losing them along their enrolment journey.
Thoughtful, personalised, student-led tours? Likely great work.

Organising a jumping castle for your next Open Day? Potentially busywork. 

From there, we prioritise and optimise each element of their experience, resulting in a clear roadmap that will lead you straight to your big operational goals.

The result? Work that makes a lasting difference. Work that others notice. Work that results in families clamouring for a spot on your waitlists. Work that has top teachers setting alerts on your job boards, waiting for an opportunity to join your team.

How the magic happens

I can help you review, plan and improve any aspect of your enrolment journey.

Within the enrolment journey, Bolsta's approach is incredibly custom to your challenges, team, families and resources.

Generally, work falls into three 'buckets' – capacity-building, strategy-building or infrastructure-building. 

Strategy-Building

  • Audits (digital, enrolment journey, communications) 
  • Brand & messaging strategy
  • Enrolment journey mapping
  • Information architecture mapping
  • Engagement strategy

Infrastructure-Building

  • Website design & development
  • Enrolment CRM integration
  • Brand design & rollout
  • Content creation (photography, videography)
  • Copywriting

Capacity-Building

Supporting your team to deliver a great experience.
  • Team training
  • Ongoing coaching
  • Co-design workshops

The impact is undeniable

I no longer feel like I’m swimming in a pool with no bottom, but instead have a clear, communicable framework to operate within.

Interested in what this could mean for your school? Here are the next steps for you

When you have big goals—or big emergencies—it’s tempting to jump straight into building a solution.

Instead, I help schools step back, look at the bigger picture, and ensure we’re prioritising the right things before we get stuck in.
