CQU has launched a new 15-week program to nurture its early career academics and organisers of the initiative are excited about an initial sign-up of 27 staff members.

The program is being trialled in Rockhampton with a view to rolling it out to other campuses later on.

Central Queensland University is gearing up to host the region's biggest annual community event, the CQU Multicultural Fair and University Open Day.

Taking their audience on a voyage around the world with their exotic instruments, Sirocco will for the third consecutive year be a feature act at the CQU Multicultural Fair and Open Day.

From performing to an estimated audience of 200,000 on Australia Day 1999 to a dance with the Dayaks in a jungle clearing in central Borneo, there is no band in the world with the experience of Sirocco.

Teachers, school managers, academics and education policy makers from the Sunshine Coast have a great professional development opportunity next month.

They will be able to join colleagues from elsewhere in Australia to look at teaching success based on proven, evidence-based practices.
