Thanks to Vanessa mataji and Rohit prabhu for presenting such an attractive school stall in the temple for Janmastami. Many parents and congregation have commented on the school presence during the Janmastami festival and the professional level of the presentation. We had an enrollment call first thing Monday morning which is confirmed and a new student started this morning. We have a couple of enrollment meetings within the next week and six other confirmed but yet to be enrolled students. Fingers crossed they are in by the deadline of September 24th. We still have a few more to go but we have certainly made tremendous progress.
We currently have our Enrol Now signs up in the Bharatiya Mandir and The Radha Krishna Temple at the Mahatama Gandhi centre. We have also left pamphlets and flyers at these temples. We have attended the Indian Independence Day celebrations and thanks to Nikhil and Kamini and family for their efforts we distributed hundreds of flyers and spoke with lots of interested people about the school. We also attended the first Raksha Bandhan festival held at the Mahatma Gandhi centre. We set up a table and distributed flyers.
We are planning a couple of seminars and at least one more webinar to promote the school before the end of the month. We’ll keep you posted on the dates for these.
We have also placed signs advertising the school on both sides and at the back of both buses. Previously this was our best form of advertising.
This week we will be looking at placing advertising and articles in the Indian Newspapers and radio.
So we still have a long way to go but we are on track and focussed on the goal. Remember the absolute best advertising for the school is satisfied customers. If you can speak to your colleagues, neighbours, family and friends about the benefits of attending Hare Krishna School this will be a great contribution. Remember to tell them about the special promotion just for this month!
We really do have the best school in New Zealand!
