All Events

This exclusive face-to-face forum is open to schools that demonstrated outstanding engagement in the 2025 Emerging Leaders Forum (ELF) online program. Participating schools must have attended all three ELF program days and submitted a project via Padlet. The forum provides an opportunity for student leaders to connect, share their learning, and deepen their leadership skills in a university setting.

To support balanced representation, a mix of ELF Primary and Junior Secondary schools will be included.

Help our young leaders build skills in intercultural communication, teamwork, and leadership and connect with students from international schools from Asia and the Pacific.

Our Story: Aboriginal Chinese People in Australia

*Please note each attendee must complete a separate registration to ensure one ticket per person.

Our Story: Aboriginal Chinese People in Australia is the outcome of a research project that focuses on the period since the gold rushes of the 1850s, when it was more common for First Nations people to come into contact with Chinese arrivals. Both groups largely lived on the margins of White Settler society and were often subject to much disdain and discrimination.

The historical information collected in this book consists of two levels. One is the history of people, places and events that have been documented and affirmed over periods of time. The historians have compiled these materials, and their work provides a backdrop to the second level of information: family stories.  It provides personal stories about how descendants identify themselves and what they think of their family history.
