Meet Carine, a third-year Bachelor of Science (Environmental Science) student whose study so far has been shaped by her love of animals and her ability to push herself beyond her comfort zone. ✨

Originally from Malaysia, Carine moved to Australia to finish Year 11 and 12. Carine`s first year at uni was challenging due to her introverted nature and found it difficult to make friends or participate in social activities. After watching movies and seeing students enjoy uni together, Carine expected to have the same experience, but found herself too shy to join clubs and events, but as time passed, Carine decided it was time to step out of her shell and embrace the uncomfort. This led her to join a John Curtin Weekend, a volunteering weekend experience ran by Curtin Volunteers!

She also tried-out for an ultimate frisbee team, which helped her to grow in confidence and connect with other students. The game included training weekly, as well as social competitions, allowing her relationships to flourish, and to have consistent opportunities to further connect with others. She’s proud of herself for joining a team and feels that her commitment to the team inspires her to continue expanding her comfort zone and showing up in every training session.

Carine’s real breakthrough came in her second year when she discovered an international internship opportunity through Curtin’s Global Office. Always passionate about conservation, Carine had struggled to find internships in Australia that matched her keen interest in animal conservation, within environmental science. The internship, based in Indonesia, was centered around working with orangutans.
Carine was accepted into the internship and traveled to Indonesia, where she spent a month working on a project mapping suitable sites for rehabilitated orangutans to be released back into the wild. Beyond the fieldwork, Carine found the experience enriching on a cultural level as well. ✈️

Meet Max, a first-year student in the Bachelor of Creative Arts 🎨

Raised by an artist mother and a designer father, Max has been immersed in the world of art from an early age, shaping his interests and aspirations. Now majoring in Fine Art, Max is exploring the rich, diverse world of cross-disciplinary art while aiming for a future as an artist.

Despite this creative upbringing, Max didn’t fully consider the arts until high school but by the time he reached Year 12, his love for fine art had become more than just a hobby. This curiosity, combined with a significant academic achievement, solidified Max`s decision to pursue fine art. Early in Year 12, he earned a prestigious scholarship from the National Gallery of Australia. Candidates were required to create artwork and write an essay based on a given prompt to compete for the prestigious scholarship, which selects only two recipients from each state. After being awarded, the scholars flew over to Canberra, and Max found the experience not only validated his talents but also provided clarity on the direction of his future. 🌠

As an artist, Max’s artistic interests span multiple mediums, though he primarily focuses on painting and drawing. “I guess it would be right for me to say multimedia,” he reflects, “I try to bridge boundaries between video art and painting—mixing traditional mediums like oil painting with newer forms like video.” Whether it`s the tactile process of painting or the dynamic possibilities of video art, he thrives on the versatility and freedom that comes with his practice.
