Welcome
Work in Progress!
Welcome friends and thank you for visiting theSunnybankWall.com a online community website project that was launched in early 2020 during the Covid19 lockdown. However the ideas leading up to the websites creation started in 2019 and possibly much earlier when two friends, one from Hong Kong and another from Taiwan who grew up in Australia began assisting international university students from Asia with their academic and daily life during as well as after their own graduation. Building on from their personal values and philosophy the duo wanted to create an online educational platform and resource to help a greater number of international Asian students then two individual can alone.
Whats is the Sunnybank Wall?
This website and project was started with the goal to first replace as well as improve the current unofficial notice board located at the Market Square shopping complex in the suburb of Sunnybank, in Brisbane Queensland. If Sunnybank is the unofficial Chinatown and heart of the Asian community within Brisbane then certainly this chaotic concrete wall covered in flyer and posters ads is the nerve center providing essential information and functions for the local community and international students.
However we envision TheSunnybankwall.com community platform to become much more then just a online noticeboard website but instead to grow and provide other functions and resources that will assist not only international Asian university students but also Asian Tourists and recently immigrated families too.
Who are we?
We are a small group of graduates and university students interested in created a educational platform and tool that will assist other international students during their academic life in Brisbane as well as sharing their own personal experiences with others.
Our Mission Statement
The SunnybankWall is a Asian community platform created to achieve the follow mission and goals
- To create a free online Educational Platform “A School for University + Life”
- To enhance the Australian study experience for international students by providing guides & tips that will help them save time & money
- To create a supportive community and home away from home
- With the long term goal of the platform being able to create jobs & offer local work experience opportunities.
How we can help?
Over the last 6 months our small group of student volunteers has grown and slowly taking shape however we still require help and insights from other university students especially into the areas which we could provide the most help. Therefore we have created a short questionnaire to help us find out what are the most important pieces of information for university students that would be of value either before starting their studies or during university life in Brisbane. This questionnaire will be coming soon – How we can help you? page.
Conclusion
Thank you for visiting and reading our project so far. Please visit again soon and share with your friends too as over the next few months we will be working on various features of the platform and it will look more like a real website.
