universities on Saturday 10 July 2010, as 280 alumni and friends
gathered to celebrate the Australia China Alumni Association and CPA
Australia - Australia China Alumni Awards at Le Meridien Hotel,
Shanghai.
Nine
awards were presented at the Gala Presentation Dinner to high achieving
Australian-educated alumni in China with Peter Pang, President of Bosch
China and alumnus of the University of Western Australia, taking top
honours as the 2010 Australia China Alumni of the Year.
Martyn
Huckerby, one of this year's judges and Partner and Chief
Representative at the Mallesons Stephen Jaques Shanghai Office,
commented on Peter Pang's win: "Peter has achieved great things since
graduating from the University of Western Australia with a degree in
electronics engineering. The recognition of Peter's achievements should
provide further encouragement for Chinese students to advance their
careers and life experience by studying in Australia."

2010 Australia China Alumni Lifetime
Achievement
Award Winners
A special, honourary award was presented for the first time at the 2010
Australia China Alumni Awards. The 2010 Australia China Alumni Lifetime
Achievement Award was presented at the discretion of the Australia China Alumni
Association to a group of alumni who, over many years, have made a significant
contribution to the Australia-China relationship.
Every year many thousands of Chinese students make the journey to Australia to
begin their studies at one of our fine tertiary institutions. This journey of
thousands started with a small group of nine Chinese students, who in 1979,
became the first group of Chinese students to travel to Australia for study. The members of
this group are:
Upon their graduation from the University
of Sydney and their return to China, the Group of Nine continued their
connection with Australia by
establishing Australian Studies Centres in Beijing,
Shanghai, Suzhou,
Xi’an and Nanjing.
Since 1979 many thousands of Chinese students have followed in the footsteps of
this original Group of Nine and there are now 26 Australian Studies Centres
across China.
Six of the nine Group of Nine members attended the Gala Presentation
Dinner to accept their Lifetime Achievement Award, which was presented by Mr
Tom Connor, Australian Consul-General to Shanghai,
and Dr Geoff Raby, Australian Ambassador to China.
