Chinese New Year a Melbourne Campus highlight 

Published on 11 February, 2004 

CQU Melbourne International Campus staff and students are keen to celebrate relevant cultural events, since about 40 nationalities are represented at the Lonsdale Street facility.

PhotoID:1336 One such celebration was the Chinese New Year, a time for putting aside disagreements, for renewing acquaintances and for exchanging gifts and goodwill messages.

Campus celebrations included an energetic lion dance performed by members of the Chinese Youth Society of Melbourne.

Students from all nations enjoyed the performance, with some keeping video and photo records for friends back home.

Students were given traditional Chinese New Year lucky envelopes containing the traditional gold coin. New Year lucky candy was distributed throughout the day.

PhotoID:1337 The campus was decorated with lanterns, banners and dragons to capture the theme.
