Student stories

  • When I enrolled at ECU, little did I know that it would lead to me being a part of something historic

    In my last semester of my course I got an industry placement in the Events Department of the Fremantle Dockers Football Club.

    Due to my positive work ethic, I was offered casual employment. In the lead-up to Grand Final I was suddenly asked to fly to Melbourne to fill in for a permanent staff member. I was in charge of managing security, caterers and audio technicians. All the skills and theory I picked up in my years at ECU helped me play a part in running the biggest function the club ever had – their historic first grand final.

  • I love to recommend Perth and my school to the whole world!

    I chose ECU because it was the first school in Western Australia (WA) to offer hospitality management courses, and the teaching level and quality is high.

    My biggest achievement so far is being a Student Ambassador of Perth 2020-2021. I love to recommend Perth and my school to the whole world!

    I think the most distinctive feature of Perth is its excellent natural environment. It has the most beautiful sunset in the world and its market culture is the best.

    Living in WA, you can meet different people and cultures from all over the world. This kind of cultural collision can make people more tolerant.
