A mission-driven College committed to excellence and growth
Maranatha Christian School, a mid-sized independent school in Victoria, recognised the need to respond to the rapid evolution of AI in education. With varied levels of understanding across its leadership team, the school partnered with RTG for a tailored AI Leadership Workshop, led by RTG’s CEO. The workshop delivered clarity, built confidence, and created a practical roadmap for next steps. Ongoing advisory by RTG continues to guide Maranatha’s leadership in integrating AI into teaching, learning, and operations.
Preparing for the future: the need for a long-term technology vision
AI is evolving rapidly, creating both opportunities and questions for schools everywhere. Maranatha’s leadership team wanted to understand what AI could mean for teaching, learning, and operations, and how to approach it in a way that aligns with their vision. With different levels of familiarity and a fast-changing landscape, they needed a collaborative space to explore ideas, share concerns, and define practical next steps.
Collaborative review delivering insights for sustainable progress
RTG partnered with Maranatha’s leadership team to design and deliver a tailored AI workshop. Led by RTG CEO Dean McDonald, the session benchmarked participants’ understanding, provided insights from staff surveys, and facilitated open discussion about AI’s role in schools. The workshop covered practical applications, security and privacy, prompt engineering, and personalisation. Leaders explored real-world examples and co-created actionable plans for integrating AI into their context. The facilitation style ensured all voices were heard, and the team left aligned, inspired, and ready to take action.
Empowering leadership with data-driven roadmaps and greater impact
The workshop sparked energised and reflective discussion, moving the team from uncertainty to a shared vision for AI. Leaders explored how tools like Microsoft Copilot could streamline lesson planning and automate reporting, and developed a four-week unit plan tailored to diverse student needs. Rather than producing a static report, RTG delivered a strategic foundation for action.
The workshop gave us practical insight and opened up new possibilities. It helped us see how AI can enhance teaching and learning in ways that reflect our values.
