Education

CQUniversity and the Bundaberg Regional Council have signed a five-year agreement to partner and collaborate on new initiatives that will help bring about improved community sustainability outcomes.

More than 70 graduates from TAFE Queensland’s Bundaberg campus celebrated their achievements at the Bundaberg Multiplex Sport & Convention Centre last week, marking the start of their exciting new careers.

From robotics, drone basics, to arts and craft with a tech twist, CQUniversity’s Makerspace workshops are catered for participants between the ages of eight and 16, curated and developed specifically to inspire young, imaginative minds.

Local student Mylee Bates recently gained hands-on cancer research experience after taking part in Bundaberg Regional Council’s Bundaberg Jobs Commitment program.

Local dog trainer Wendy Newton is unleashing new research to create safer practices for animals in residential aged care facilities.

Next week, Geoff Augutis will cross the CQUniversity graduation stage to not only officially receive his Doctorate, but he will also share his inspiring story to the graduating crowd as the guest speaker – and there isn’t a dry eye expected in the house.
