CQUniversity Gladstone has hosted the recent Chinese New Year celebrations organised by the Chinese Community of the Gladstone Multicultural Association Inc.

The campus was the major sponsor of the event, which was also supported by Boulder Steel.

The community event included silk art displays, an abacus vs calculator competition, games, singing, home-cooked Chinese meals, and the book launch of Fei Matheson's The English way of learning Chinese.

This was the first time the Chinese community has used the CQUniversity facility and members are excited about working with us in the future.

With such a success, the group plans for a much larger event next year with the prospect of having its own 'lion' and acrobats. PHOTOS courtesy William Debois.
