The ‘Tell Ya Story’ Australian Photography Competition will be held from June to August, to give those who have studied in Australia, the opportunity to document their memories and tell their story of their time in Australia, through photographs!!
We want to see your favourite snaps of your time in Oz… did you hike the Blue Mountains, surf the golden beaches of the Gold Coast, swim with dolphins, cruise the Great Ocean Road, or just get up close n snuggly with Koala Bear?!? Perhaps you met some of your closest friends for life?
Whatever your experience in Australia, we want to see your photos and hear the story behind them!!
So send us your pics and in 300 words or less..
TELL US YA STORY!!
We are not looking for the best photo in terms of photographic quality but the photo that most captures the essence of student’s time in Australia!!

As a member of the B Triple A, I got invited to a reception organised by the Australian High Commission for Mr Adam Carlon, the Education Counsellor with Australian Education International (AEI) in Kuala Lumpur. It was also the occasion to introduce his successor, Ms.Louise McSorley. AEI Promotes the Australian education and training industry to the world and provides information on the benefits of studying in Australia for overseas students.
Just to juggle your memory, the BAAA that was formed in 2002 with the following objectives:
-
To represent and advance the interests of members who are alumni of Australian universities, education institutions, defence institutions and training centres.
-
To establish a network of members in Brunei so as to foster progress in the areas of education, culture, commerce, science and industry.
-
To promote and foster relations amongst alumni associations of Brunei and of other countries.
BAAA is open to anyone who has studied or worked in Australia or any Australian citizens currently working in Brunei.
Why join the BAAA?
-
For students – a great opportunity to network and tap information with regard to employability.
-
For Graduates- to relive the good memories of life as a student and to meet other fellow graduates from Australia.
Talking about the BAAA, there are a couple of events being organised in the pipeline. Hope to share more info with you soon.
