ACERA Was Invited By LNG Partnership Fund Executives Training Program To Celebrate Graduation Ceremony

The Maali, Perth Zoo - Monday 9 December 2024

What an incredible evening we joined at the Graduation Ceremony Celebration! The event was hosted at the beautiful The Maali, Perth Zoo, where the natural scenery and tranquil surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for this special occasion. The weather cooperated wonderfully, giving us a pleasant evening to honor the achievements of the LNG Fund Executives Training Program participants.

The event successfully brought together all the key partners from North West Shelf Project joint venture, as well as representatives from both State and Federal governments, Consulate General of China in Perth, National Energy Administration of China, The Australia China Business Council (ACBC) WA branch, and other stakeholders, fostering a sense of importance and recognition to the occasion.

The celebration opened by Robyn Robb, Executive Director, International Engagement, Invest and Trade WA, followed by a traditional didgeridoo performance by Aboriginal artist Barry Winmar. This added a profound cultural element to the ceremony.

Simone Spencer, Deputy Director General, Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation; Angus Argyle, General Manager, North West Shelf from Shell and Gary Martin, CEO of Australian Institute of Management WA, all delivered engaging speeches, reflected on past collaboration, highlighted the close relationship and shared commitments between Australia & China LNG Industries .

Another highlight of the event was the presentation of the pictures of the trainees showcasing their 10 week journey including study and spare time activities. These photos captured the special bonds and friendships they formed as a group. We are sure they will be cherished memories in their life.

The evening culminated with the beautiful Guzheng performance especially the song of My Motherland, which truly brought the evening to its peak. The trainees and some attendees sang along adding powerful collective expression of patriotism and unity.

After the formal procedures, attendees shared lively conversations and forged new connections, making this event more than just a celebration but also a networking opportunity. 

The occasion was no doubt a remarkable way to celebrate a milestone in our partnership with LNG Funds!
