It was fantastic to see MADCAMP return as an in-person showcase, bringing together students, academics, and industry professionals to celebrate the power of strategic communication.

What makes an effective leader? It begins with understanding people.

Westpac Scholars had the opportunity to engage with Dr Shawn Ee, Founder and Clinical Psychologist at The Psychology Practice, who shared his inspiring journey from Singapore's public healthcare system to establishing one of the country's leading private psychology practices.

Drawing on decades of experience in clinical psychology and leadership, Dr Shawn explored the growing importance of mental health in today's workplaces and communities. He challenged students to lead with curiosity, empathy and authenticity, explaining that strong relationships are built by listening first, asking thoughtful questions and understanding the perspectives of others.

The session also explored resilience, navigating difficult conversations, avoiding burnout, and remaining grounded in personal values. Students gained valuable insights into building psychologically safe environments while balancing compassion with accountability—an essential leadership skill in any profession.

One of the key takeaways was that leadership is not about having all the answers, but about staying curious, learning continuously, and having the courage to engage in honest conversations. Dr Shawn reminded students that meaningful leadership begins with self-awareness and a genuine commitment to helping others thrive.

Thank you, Dr Shawn Ee for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion that challenged our scholars to think differently about leadership, wellbeing and the power of human connection.

🎬 Behind the scenes of the global creative industry!

Westpac Scholars had the opportunity to visit Infinite Studios Singapore, where Chief Operating Officer Freddie Yeo shared valuable insights into Singapore's thriving creative and digital media industry.

From the making of international productions such as Westworld and Crazy Rich Asians to the future of AI, virtual production and digital storytelling, students gained a first-hand understanding of how creativity and technology are reshaping careers across the globe.

The session also highlighted the importance of collaboration, resilience, networking and embracing opportunities beyond traditional career pathways.

Students were also inspired by Murdoch University alumnus and award-winning filmmaker Ervin Han, whose animated feature The Violinist recently made history by winning the prestigious Cristal for Best Feature Film at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.

Sharing his journey from Murdoch student to internationally acclaimed director, Ervin encouraged students to pursue their passions, remain adaptable, and never underestimate the value of hard work and perseverance.

A truly inspiring session that reminded our scholars that success is built not only on talent, but also on curiosity, attitude, collaboration and the courage to embrace new opportunities.

How do we protect wildlife before it's too late?

Our Westpac scholars had the opportunity to visit Mandai Nature to learn how conservation goes far beyond caring for animals in zoos.

Through science, research, partnerships, and community engagement, Mandai Nature is helping to protect some of Southeast Asia's most threatened species and habitats.

From breeding critically endangered wildlife for future release into the wild, to supporting conservation projects across the region and working closely with local communities, the session highlighted that successful conservation requires collaboration, innovation, and long-term commitment.

The interactive discussion also explored the challenges of biodiversity loss, habitat protection, wildlife health, and the importance of balancing conservation with the needs of people and local communities.

A big thank you to the Mandai Nature team, Dr Jessica Lee and Shawne Goh, for an inspiring and thought-provoking session that reminded us that protecting biodiversity is a shared responsibility for us all.

Developing the next generation of disruptive leaders at Murdoch Singapore

Last week, Murdoch University Singapore was delighted to welcome 29 undergraduate scholars from across Australia for the Westpac Scholars Trust Disruptive Leaders Program.

Now in its fifth year, the program is jointly delivered by Murdoch Singapore and Common Purpose and provides scholars with an immersive leadership and cultural experience in one of Asia’s most dynamic cities.

The group, which included four scholars from Murdoch University in Perth, heard from representatives of the Australian High Commission, connected with Murdoch Singapore students, and visited leading organisations including PayPal and Infinite Studios.

The scholars also took part in an “Amazing Race” across Singapore and completed a business challenge at Mandai Wildlife Reserve. Throughout the week, they participated in leadership development activities while experiencing Singapore’s renowned food, culture and global outlook.

Murdoch Singapore is proud to support a program that develops bold, collaborative and globally minded leaders equipped to create positive change.

The Australasian PASS Alliance (APA) PASS and Peer Learning Conference welcomed almost 100 delegates from across Australia and around the world in June 2026, including representatives from New Zealand, Fiji, Canada, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Singapore.

The conference opened by Sally Rogan, Honorary Executive Director, celebrating the strength of the PASS community, with nearly 40 student delegates joining supervisors, practitioners and researchers to share ideas and best practices in peer learning and student success.

It was an inspiring start to two days of collaboration, innovation and strengthening the future of PASS across the region.

Professor Jane Skalicky, Director of Student Academic Success at the University of Tasmania, delivered an inspiring keynote, reflecting on nearly two decades of leadership in peer learning and student success.

Professor Skalicky highlighted the transformative impact of PASS in supporting student wellbeing, academic success, belonging and employability, while encouraging institutions to view students as genuine partners in learning.

She also shared practical strategies for building sustainable peer learning programs, emphasizing strong partnerships, intentional leadership development, data-informed decision making and celebrating student leaders.

Acknowledging the challenges currently facing the higher education sector -including funding pressures, policy changes, equity, student wellbeing and the rapid growth of AI -she reinforced that peer learning remains a powerful way to foster connection, belonging and resilience.

Her message was clear: invest in student leaders, build meaningful partnerships, embrace innovation, and continue demonstrating the value of peer learning in shaping the future of higher education.

Each workshop deserves its own moment in the spotlight, so we'll be featuring them individually over the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
