Meet Ronny, a second-year Master of Mining Engineering student at the Curtin Kalgoorlie campus. ⚒️🌿
Ronny completed his undergraduate degree in mineral processing engineering and worked for three years before deciding to pursue further studies in Australia. Having never travelled abroad before, he moved from China almost directly to Kalgoorlie, with only a brief ten-day stopover in Perth. Despite the initial change of pace, he has come to appreciate the peacefulness and close-knit community of Kalgoorlie. He values the town’s quiet environment and its proximity to mining sites. One of the aspects he finds most beneficial is the focused atmosphere, where everyone is dedicated to their work and studies. This creates a productive environment for Ronny, who is eager to excel and grow professionally. The move has been enjoyable, largely due to the unwavering support of his wife. Ronny enjoys Kalgoorlie’s simplicity and the quality time he can spend with his wife exploring nearby attractions like Esperance and stargazing in areas with little light pollution. 🌠
His studies have been challenging but rewarding, and now in his final semester, he is excited to graduate and start his professional career. One of the highlights of Ronny’s Australian study experience was participating in an Assessment Centre. This day-long series of activities tests candidates’ aptitudes, behaviours, and skills in a work-like environment, including group tasks, presentations, social interactions, and individual interviews. Held by local industry partners in Kalgoorlie, assessment centres are preferred over individual interviews as professionals can gauge a candidate’s fit for an organisation. 💼
These assessment centres also give students a chance to stand out beyond their CVs, allowing companies to see who they truly are. The focus is on behavioural skills like teamwork, communication, conflict management, and problem-solving. Ronny was extremely grateful for this unique opportunity, believing it was something he couldn’t have experienced back home.

Q: What is your number 1 recommendation for uni and personal life?
💬
“Never be afraid to ask for help when you need some support”
Rebecca, Psychology Honours student
In this mini #ConversationsAtCurtin series, we’re asking students around campus big and small questions to get to know them better. 🌟
Meet Brooke, a dedicated second-year master’s student, pursuing a degree in Professional Writing and Publishing.✏️
Brooke started her master’s program with two clear understandings about herself: she was dedicated to education as a self-proclaimed nerd and had a deep passion and love for writing. Throughout her life, writing has always been the consistent thread that tied everything together. With ongoing support and commitment, Brooke dedicated herself to refining her creative passion, eager to discover what it had in store for her.
In Semester 1, of 2024, Brooke completed a unit called Publishing Studio and joined the first cohort of an initiative within the Professional Writing and Publishing degree, to establish a student-staffed publishing house, here at Curtin, Elephant Page Publishing @elephantpage_. This initiative, created by Major Coordinator Per Henningsgaard, provides students with hands-on experience and knowledge of working in the publishing industry. The publishing house is now open to a range of genres and styles across fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry, with the goal of shaping a diverse Australian book industry for future generations. Brooke was elected as the Deputy Publisher of Elephant Page by her peers, where she became the second-in-command of all operations. This role was demanding, requiring her to oversee every aspect of the publication process, ensure smooth workflow among team members, set and manage deadlines, and handle all duties typical of a second-in-command. Despite the heavy workload, Brooke found the experience immensely rewarding and exciting. ✨
