Tinsel all around as Bundy staff party 

The CQU Bundaberg campus Christmas party had an extra special touch this year.

Two Bachelor of Learning Management students fronted up guitars and vocal chords ready to blare as staff danced the night away to the music of Clinton Honor and Matt Farthing The successful night was another event organised by the campus social committee which formed earlier this year.

PhotoID:1113 Arts Health and Sciences Administrative Officer Darlene Turner is a key player on the committee and said the event was a great way to end the year.

This year’s events have included a cruise along the Burnett River on the Bundy Belle, moring teas and shared lunches including a very successful Melbourne Cup luncheon and launch of the Best Hat competition.

“We hope to continue next year as we think it is really important for staff to have the opportunity to meet each other. Even though we are a small campus some faces are not seen very often so the social committee functions give staff the opportunity to catch up and share their stories.".

“The Christmas party was the tinsel on the tree so to speak and to have the students perform for free was very generous and greatly appreciated." Photo above: Oh what a year. CQU Bundaberg Informatics and Communication’s Lyn Costigan and Business and Law’s Christine Woodland share some happy tales.
