Meet Lawrence, a Bachelor of Creative Arts student specialising in film.
Lawrence is deeply passionate about storytelling and the power of film to connect with audiences. His university journey has been focused on finding his creative voice, learning to use narrative to explore different perspectives, and developing his unique style.
As a filmmaker, Lawrence’s travel experiences have been crucial to his development.
“Traveling has opened my eyes to different perspectives and how diverse stories can be. It’s not just about telling a good story; it’s about finding the universal elements that resonate with people worldwide.”
These experiences have helped him understand how to craft stories that are not only entertaining but also thought-provoking. For Lawrence, storytelling is about more than just visuals, it’s about sharing experiences that lead to reflection and personal growth.
As he continues his studies, Lawrence is eager to explore the intersection of film and social issues, using his work to address important topics, promote understanding and inspire change.
“Storytelling can be a powerful tool for change,” he says. “I want to use my voice to tell stories that matter.”

Ever wonder how a career shift can lead to something even better?
Meet Pierce, construction management wasn’t always the plan. Initially, he dreamed of becoming a vet, even spending two years studying animal health and science. However, during COVID-19, Pierce reassessed his career goals and realised that, whilst he loved animals, the biology-heavy path wasn’t for him. After working in his dad’s construction office to test the waters, Pierce swapped to Curtin’s Bachelor of Applied Science in Construction Management. Now in his fourth and final year, Pierce has embraced the unique honours structure.
“I love learning practical things and then driving around town, seeing what I’ve learned come to life.”
Pierce’s practical experience spans roles from safety management to drafting subcontract agreements. His hands-on approach earned him recognition, including an award and a role on the Industry Advisory Board for Construction Management as a student representative. As president of the Young Builders Alliance, he organised networking events connecting students with industry leaders. This dedication led to a graduate program with Bilt, where he’ll work on diverse projects like student accommodation and the new movie studio in Malaga.
His advice for aspiring students is simple; get involved! Through being involved in associations like the Young Builders Alliance, going to class consistently and ensuring the lecturers know and see him asking questions, Pierce has found that it truly can make a big difference. He attests to going to class, catching up with friends over coffee, and just enjoying the experience. As he reflects on his journey, Pierce is grateful for the supportive environment and the friendships he’s made along the way.

Thinking about moving to Kalgoorlie and wondering how easy it is to make friends?
Meet Kim, a Bachelor of Science (Mining Geology) student at Curtin Kalgoorlie, who is carving his own way to success. Growing up in the small town of Bridgetown in WA’s southwest, Kim initially resisted the idea of university and considered pursuing a trade as a heavy diesel mechanic, but a conversation with his aunt, a careers counsellor, led him to explore mining geology. 🍃
“Geology offered the perfect blend—time in the office and outdoors, using my brain and getting fresh air. It’s manual labour and mental work combined.”
Moving to Kalgoorlie from Bridgetown felt natural for Kim with his country roots, although admitting that Kalgoorlie still feels like a city compared to back home. Having fast food and stoplights felt less like a country town, but being so close to the outback, and within a fifteen-minute drive from amazing camping spots or clear views of sunsets created a perfect balance.
Kim has found a strong sense of camaraderie in Kalgoorlie’s close-knit student community. Living at Agricola College has been a highlight, offering regular events like volleyball tournaments, quiz nights, and paint-and-sip sessions. He notes how beneficial it is that everyone staying at the accommodation hub is in the same boat, all away from home and looking for close new relationships, which makes building bonds easy. 💬
Kim thrives on a busy schedule, balancing studies, work as a geology technician, and his role as a Kalgoorlie Geology Guild representative. Living in Kalgoorlie has given him invaluable industry experience, boosting his résumé and preparing him for a graduate role. His participation in the WASM Mining Games has further enhanced his networking opportunities, as the event serves as a popular icebreaker with industry professionals.
Kim encourages new students to embrace everything WASM has to offer. He recommends other students to “get amongst it” noting how the uni’s specialist knowledge in industry helps you build invaluable connections early.
