Canola’s Come Knocking (Goomalling 2022) by Millie Murfit.
The greatest challenge of human existence is upon us: the planet is suffering and the consequences for present and future generations are profound.
Tackling climate change, waste generation and the loss of biodiversity is the responsibility of every person. It’s a responsibility to be “Planet Positive.” Being Planet Positive means more than achieving net zero emissions. It’s also about making sure that human activity is restorative of ecosystems.
Curtin students feel this responsibility keenly. They also know that a mastery of complex skills is required to solve challenging environmental issues. Students want these skills and the opportunity to positively effect change in their future careers.
Enlivening the intellectual life of the University and its surrounding communities through exhibitions, events and public programs that explore global perspectives on contemporary art.

Last Friday morning, our staff, donors and students came together to make a difference at the 2024 Planet Positive Botanic Gardens Volunteering at Kings Park! 🪴🌱

When they first enrolled at Curtin University, neither Shannen Barrett or Alex Davies knew they would eventually be running a farm together. 🎓🚜🌾
Shannen and Alex first met during a biology class at Curtin. Shannen was studying Environmental Science while Alex was pursuing an Agricultural Science degree, but it was their shared sense of humour that drew them together.
Since graduating, the duo have combined their science and business expertise to run Alex’s fifth generation family farm located between York and Beverley in WA.
Alongside running the family farm with Alex’s parents, Shannen works as a Communications Manager at Intergrain and recently became a 2024 Nuffield Scholar. 📚
Over the 10 years they’ve been together, running a farm alongside their other pursuits has meant they’ve seen some challenges.
“A lot of the work on the farm is practical. Alex is a very practical person and I’m not an overly pragmatic person so we often have to focus on communicating effectively and being patient with one another,” Shannen said.
Shannen and Alex are grateful for their time at Curtin, which has prepared them for their busy but rewarding careers in agriculture. 🧑🌾
“In particular, the Agricultural Business course equipped me with the good knowledge and practical skills needed to run a successful farming business, from agronomy, to finance and understanding market dynamics,” Alex said.

Curtin graduate and Founder & Owner of The Real Healthy HQ CaAtherine Meredith is passionate about supporting the next generation of Curtin business leaders. 📚💡
On a mission to give back to the Curtin community and help shape the next generation of industry professionals, CaAtherine decided to get involved in Curtin’s Faculty of Business & Law Internship program.
Through the 12-week program, CaAtherine was able to impart her wealth of marketing and business knowledge to Curtin Marketing student Kyra Otega as part of the program.
Having just completed the program, CaAtherine and Kyra share their experiences. 💛

Working with CaAtherine and the Real Healthy HQ has taught me a lot about the practical side of marketing. Learning these lessons has built my confidence greatly, before beginning my internship it was hard to see myself as a professional Marketer rather than a Marketing student.

I encourage fellow alumni to get involved, as their contribution as a mentor could be exactly what a mentee needs to elevate their abilities and become work-ready. Your guidance and experience can make a lasting difference in their journey.

Growing up in the tropical climate of Kuala Lumpur, Sadruddin (Dean) was fortunate to live within minutes of lush forest. 🌲🌱
However, after noticing a rapid decline of canopy cover in his home country over the years, Dean had to take action.
After graduating from Curtin, the Accounting & Finance graduate founded Planters – a conservation program turned public company whose main goal is to preserve biodiversity through strategic reforestation.
Since 2008, Planters has been restoring and protecting hectares of forest throughout Malaysia, including the National Botanic Gardens Shah Alam.
Last month, the company revealed it’s exciting new cutting-edge digital technology representing a significant advancement towards safeguarding Malaysia’s invaluable forests and biodiversity.

Last month, we were honoured to spend an afternoon at Uniting WA giving back to those living it rough on our streets. 🍲🧑🍳
Walking through Perth city streets, it’s hard not to see homelessness - according to Uniting WA, there are more than 9000 people around WA experiencing homelessness.
We were so grateful to be able to come together as a team and support a cause very close to our hearts. In just a couple of hours we were able to help feed more than 300 people in one night! 👏
Just seeing how much of an impact we could make in such a short time at Uniting WA has only inspired us to do more of this type of volunteering and community service as a team in the future.
Thank you to Uniting WA for having us and to Bernie for taking the time to share your personal story with us, we will be back! 💛
