About

The Curtin Palestinian Society is a cultural student club operating under the Curtin Student Guild at Curtin university. Founded in 2021, the society focusses on building identity amongst Palestinian students in the diaspora, and teaching them about their beautiful heritage, and for our non-Palestinian peers sharing our culture with them and enjoying it together!

The society has become a valued hub for cultural exchange, interacting with students from a number of nationalities in a safe space. In 2023, our memberships sat at 350 students.

CPS recognises that we are operating on stolen, unceded land. As children of settler immigrants, and settler immigrants from largely refugee backgrounds, Palestinians as a people subjected to colonisation recognise the importance in recognising the sovereignty of First Nations people. 

The Curtin Palestinian Society acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country from which we operate and study from, the Whadjuk people of Noongar nation and we pay our respects to First Nations Elders past and present. This land is stolen land and sovereignty has never been ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
