Students cruise around Sydney before year ends 

Seventy-five students and 6 staff members at Sydney International Graduate Campus were treated to a sight-seeing cruise on the picturesque Sydney Harbour in Week 4 of Term 3, 2006.

PhotoID:3807 Students and staff enjoyed an hour aboard the Magistic Cruise with informative commentary about the harbour and a complementary morning tea.

It was a great opportunity for staff to get to know the students in a more informal way and to build relationships between the new and continuing students at CQU.

Students thoroughly enjoyed the morning and gave the following feedback... “First of all, I would like to thank the Client Services Department for organising such a wonderful event. It was simply great for me and I hope for others. All those classes and assignments were driving me crazy. It was really helpful to take a break from this monotony and then start over. I had an excellent experience with a group of friendly people and reenergised myself. Thanks again Client Services Team”.
