Students were awarded their testamurs and academic achievement certificates in the midst of their peers, academic and professional staff.

The High Achiever awards recognised students who scored the highest marks across the University in a range of courses in Term 2, 2012. The students promised to continue their efforts in the future.

Amongst the high achievers were two students (Marie Elizabeth Toman and Leonid Kotelnikov) who have previously received such commendation.

Melbourne Campus Director Lara Carton delivered a motivational speech and encouraged the graduating students to further continue studies with CQUniversity in a variety of other programs.

Overall, it was a great event for the students who expressed genuine satisfaction in the high level of education offered at Melbourne Campus.
