Why attend?
The COME ALIVE PD Retreat is for YOU if:
- You’re a dedicated, passionate student-facing professional who’s slogged it out (often without much -or any- support).
- You’re excited to learn and understand new ways of unpacking what makes students tick (so that you can connect even more easily).
- You’re not just tired, you’re BONE TIRED, so tired that you have forgotten what rested even feels like, right?
The COME ALIVE PD Retreat is is for YOUR STAFF if:
- Your staff would benefit from learning about the most powerful new ways to understand and connect more deeply with students.
- You know your staff have gone above and beyond in the last 2+ years.
- You weren’t always there to support your team as you would have liked.
- You’d like to reward them, but also want it to be beneficial to the students (and the business)

FAQs
Can I get a refund if I can’t attend?
Unfortunately we can’t offer refunds, but you can nominate someone else to take your place.
Where is it?
The Come Alive PD Retreat session is being held at the historic West Beach Pavilion in St Kilda West, with the beach literally right outside of the venue, so have your feet ready for the sand!
Is there a dress code?
Relaxed casual is the order of the day. We’ll be spending some time ‘netwalking’ on the beach, so comfy shoes that you can slip off (if you like) will be perfect. And because Melbourne – we suggest that you wear layers that you can put on or off as needed.
I have a special dietary requirement, can you still feed me?
Short answer – YES. Make sure that you let us know on the booking form of any dietary requirements.
What if it sucks?
We’re positive that it won’t suck, but if you come, attend the whole program and leave feeling that you’ve gained absolutely nothing from the Come Alive! PD Retreat, then ask us for a refund.
